I had the pleasure of guiding a beautiful group through an Introduction to Forest Bathing at Marine Park in Brooklyn, NY, as part of City of Forest Day 2025. Together, we immersed our five senses in a silent, meditative walk — exploring the textures, sounds, and rhythms of nature through breathwork and mindful presence.

​

Our session also included a brief introduction to the history and roots of Forest Bathing (Shinrin-Yoku), honoring the practice’s origins and its growing connection to urban wellness here in New York City.

This experience was a reminder that healing can happen anywhere — even in the heart of the city — when we pause, breathe, and allow nature to meet us where we are.
