Organized by Downsview Park in partnership with Forest Bathing Club (FBC), these walks are offered to the public as an introductory experience to the practice of Forest Bathing. Led by Emily Pleasance, artist and Certified Nature & Forest Therapy Guide, this 2.5-hour experience will offer you a space to drop into your body, tune into your senses, and connect with the more-than-human-world. You will be introduced to the concept of all beings, have stories told about the land, and be showed alternative ways of being with yourself, each other, and nature. Unlike a hike where there is a destination, this practice is about arriving here, in the present moment.

The Forest Bathing Club (www.forestbathingclub.com) offers walks led by a certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide on lands throughout the GTA including places such as High Park, the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, Evergreen Brick Works, and Tommy Thompson Park.

The practice of Forest Therapy supports our mental, physical, and planetary health by nurturing heart-centered relationships between all peoples and the More-Than-Human World of Nature.

Our Education programs are proudly supported by TD Friends of the Environment Foundation.
