SUMMARY:FOREST BATHING at BLACKWOOD FARM PARK
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with Orange County NC Parks and Recreation\, please join Aimee Vandemark as she guides you on a Forest Bathing Walk. Forest Bathing (also known as Shinrin-Yoku) broadly means taking in the forest atmosphere with all of one’s senses.    Not simply a walk in the woods; it is the conscious and contemplative  practice of being immersed in the sights\, sounds\, and smells of  the forest. During your walk\, Aimee Vandemark will guide you through  invitations to awaken your senses\, slow down\, be present\, and reconnect  with the nature and rhythm of your surroundings. (Cost: $40/per person)

All guests must purchase tickets in advance. \nTickets can be bought here: https://secure.jenrette.org/nx/portal/neonevents/events?path=%2Fportal%2Fevents \nThis is a potentially strenuous tour which includes climbing stairs\, traversing uneven terrain\, and enduring uncomfortable weather conditions and the presence of bugs or other wildlife. We regret that we cannot be responsible for those needing assistance and encourage all guests to dress accordingly.
