Shinrin-Yoku and the Art of Forest Bathing

Experience the healing power of art and nature

October 6-8, 2023

Forest Bathing is a slow wander in a natural place where we use all of our senses to experience what we discover around us.

We will be in the perfect environment for our Forest Bathing (Shinrin-Yoku) in the Sierra Nevada foothills.  A walk brings us closer to nature and inspiration to use in our projects including a harvest pinch pot, organic collection art box, woodland flags, forest body scrub, pebble meditation and more! 

Date and Time and Location:  The weekend will begin on Friday, October 6, 2023 at 5:00.  Dinner will be served. I’m excited to return to the Jesuit Retreat Center in Applegate, 1001 Boole Road, site of the very first Running With Scissors art retreat.  Directions and descriptions can be found on the website:
