Join us for a guided Forest Therapy Walk through the natural areas surrounding Huddart Park—a gentle, restorative experience rooted in the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku, or “forest bathing.” This is not a hike or fitness walk, but an opportunity to slow down, breathe deeply, and learn simple practices that support mental, physical, and emotional well-being. You’ll be guided through the Standard Sequence developed by the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy (ANFT)—a series of sensory-based invitations designed to deepen your connection with nature, yourself, and others. The pace is slow, the terrain is gentle, and no prior experience is necessary. In many parts of the world, Forest Therapy is recognized as a pillar of preventive healthcare, proven to reduce stress, improve mood, lower blood pressure, and support immune function. This walk also invites a spirit of reciprocity—we learn not only to receive healing from the forest, but also to give our attention and care back to the land. This event is especially meaningful for retired individuals or those in life transitions, offering a space to reflect, renew, and explore a practice that can become part of your ongoing self-care routine. Upon registration, you will receive detailed information on how to prepare for your experience. Come as you are. No special gear or prior experience required—just curiosity, openness, and a willingness to fully be someplace, rather than trying to get somewhere. This program is hosted by Woodside Library, but will take place at Huddart Park. Huddart Park is located at 1100 Kings Mountain Road. Drivers, please note that Kings Mountain Road is a curvy mountain road with occasional cyclists. Please exercise caution and drive slowly. Participants do NOT pay parking fees.
