Forest Therapy is based on the Japanese practice of "Shinrin-yoku" (Forest Bathing), which is a form of therapeutic relaxation in which your senses are immersed in nature to relax, heighten awareness and form a deeper connection to nature. As a certified guide, I believe in the healing power of nature. Walks provide an intentional space to slow down, breathe deeply and remember the quiet strength that lives within you.
Join us for a walk to the beautiful Hillcrest Park! Hillcrest Park has some of the most stunning views of Nanabijou (The Sleeping Giant), and the marina in Thunder Bay. Let's enjoy some fresh air and exercise together and don't forget to take pictures (we promise the views are worth it!).
The last NNC session will take you on an off campus excursion to the local McKellar Island Bird Observatory. We will learn about migratory songbirds and their Save the SongBirds Project. You will get to see first hand how they catch and release the birds, band them for tracking of species and you will even get to hold and release a bird as part of the experience! Our hosts John and Brady will tour us through the area and talk about the important connections between the land, native species and songbirds.
Did you know we have a beautiful Labyrinth right on campus? Join me this week as we welcome a special guest and Lakehead Alumni Dr. David Greenwood. Dr. Greenwood will share with us about the history, uses and benefits of the Labyrinth and guide us through a walk. No experience required!
Session two will lead us to the shaded shores of the McIntyre River on campus. Join me amongst the trees to explore Creekside Creations. This week we will engage with our creative spirits and let nature inspire us! We will have several nature inspired craft activities for you to choose from and have a beautiful and unique creation to take home with you.
