Forest Bathing at the Garden

Connect with nature and join us for a guided forest therapy walk!

Discover the beauty of nature in winter through a guided outdoor forest bathing walk with certified forest therapy guide Laura Bincik. At a slow pace and in community with other participants and the environment, you will be guided by a series of invitations throughout the experience to awaken your senses and intentionally connect with nature in the present moment.

We will gather briefly indoors to prepare for the walk and consider the origin of forest bathing as well as some of the benefits of the practice. When we venture into the Toronto Botanical Gardens and cover approximately 1.5 km on paved pathways, lawns and bare ground, at times encountering uneven terrain, inclines and declines. We will be strolling, standing and sitting (if you wish to). Your comfort and safety are most important!

Please note: The surrounding Wilket Creek Ravine faced severe damage due to flooding and has unfortunately remained closed to the public until repairs can be made. The upcoming Forest Bathing Walk will not cross any closed trails into the ravine.
