  • Nature Connection Walks at Heard Museum

    Inspired by the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku or forest bathing, Nature Connection Walks offer immersive experiences in a wildlife sanctuary, focusing on connecting with nature through guided activities on varying trails each month. These walks aim to showcase the health benefits of spending time in nature, such as reducing blood pressure and stress, while increasing well-being. Participants will engage in activities that involve walking, standing, and sitting in nature for about 2 hours, across trails that change monthly, offering a unique encounter every time.

    Participants are advised to prepare for outdoor conditions, adhering to recommendations on attire and bringing essentials like water and insect repellent. The trails, while not accessible to all, are designed to cater to those capable of easy-paced walking and periods of quiet reflection in nature's embrace. Electronic devices are discouraged to maximize the immersive experience. These nature walks promise a rejuvenating escape, enhancing one's connection to the natural world and fostering a sense of peace and wellness.
