Gardens

Participants will join Certified Forest Therapy Guide Debra Wilbur in the gardens to explore pathways that promote emotional and physical well-being. 

Wilbur has traveled the Nakasendo Trail in Japan and experienced firsthand where Shinrin-yoku (known here in North America as “forest bathing”) first came into practice. As a certified Association of Nature and Forest Therapy guide, Wilbur combines that practice with foraging knowledge and a regard for astrology, nature, ritual, and ceremony to create a singular nature-based immersion—aimed at quieting the mind and body, easing stress, freeing the imagination, and creating community among strangers.
