Want to have nothing to do?
Join Holy Wisdom Monastery from 3- 4:30 p.m., May 7, for rest, beauty and community as you stroll on the trails of the beautifully restored Holy Wisdom prairie and woodlands. This fully guided walk is led by trained forest therapist, Valerie Vervoort. The guided walk will include intermittent invitations for optional activities such as deep breathing and using your senses. Purposefully slow and meditative. Guests will walk a mile or a mile and a half through moderate trails.
Forest therapy has been proven to lower blood pressure, increase natural killer immune cell activity and restore a sense of well being.
This event takes place outdoors, even if raining, but will be cancelled in the case of severe weather such as thunderstorms.
This experience will also be offered from 10 – 11:30 a.m., Aug, 23.
