Shinrin Yoku: The Japanese Art and Science of Forest Bathing

Presenter: Chanchal Cabrera

Original Date: May 20, 2017

Why do we give flowers for celebrations and special events? Why do we pay premium prices to have room with a view? Why do we cultivate houseplants when we live in apartments and why do we have planter boxes in our malls and public places? Whether we know it or not, these plants are all emitting aromatic molecules, pumping out specific chemistry that can help us heal. In Japan the practice of contemplative waking in pine forests is considered a valuable medicine and your doctor can prescribe you time off work for forest bathing practices. In this exciting experiential session we explore the science and research behind the practice as well as going outside and experiencing the healing power of trees for ourselves.
