Full Moon Nature & Forest Therapy Walk at Prairiewoods
<p>We invite you to join the land at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) and certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide Emelia Sautter for a walk with the natural world during the beauty of a full moon. Experience Forest Therapy, a sensory-focused practice that invites us to slow down and be present with self and the natural world around us. According to the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy, “Forest Therapy is a practice that supports health and wellness through guided immersion in forests and other environments to promote the well-being of both people and the land. It is inspired by <em>shinrin yoku,</em> the Japanese practice of ‘Forest Bathing.’” Much research has been done on the healing and therapeutic benefits of Forest Therapy. Hundreds of clinical and non-clinical studies show numerous positive effects, including reductions in stress, anxiety, depression, mental fatigue, anger and pain. Improvements include better cognitive functioning, sleep, mood, confidence and creativity. Time with our nature kin also boosts our immune system, regulates blood pressure, improves relationships, increases feelings of gratitude and much more. Please bring a water bottle and dress for being outdoors. The cost is $20, and registration is required by the previous day. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2022-12-10 20:00:00 -0600
