SUMMARY:Forest Therapy in the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument
DESCRIPTION:A slow\, mindful exploration of nature designed to reconnect with oneself\, others\, and the environment through all our senses.\n\n\nWe will meet at 9:00 AM at the CVS (formerly Rite Aid) in Ashland and make our way into the Monument from there. Carpooling is optional but encouraged. \nA guided forest therapy session is a slow\, mindful exploration of nature designed to reconnect with oneself\, others\, and the environment through all our senses. Participants are invited to slow down\, tune into their surroundings\, and engage in various sensory activities like slowly walking\, meditating\, and mindful observation. The goal is to cultivate a sense of presence and connection with the natural world\, which can lead to stress reduction\, improved mood\, and increased well-being. \nHere’s a more detailed look at what to expect: \nIntroduction and Setting the Intention: The session begins with a brief explanation of Forest Therapy and its benefits\, along with an opportunity to set personal intentions for the experience. \nGuided Walk and Sensory Engagement: Participants are guided on a gentle slow\, mindful walk through the forest\, with invitations to notice the sights\, sounds\, smells\, textures\, and tastes of the surroundings. \nMeditation and Mindfulness Practices: There may be moments for guided meditation or mindful breathing exercises to help participants deepen their connection with nature and their own bodies. \nReflections and Sharing: Participants may be invited to share their observations and reflections with the group\, fostering a sense of community and connection. \nRelaxation and Stillness: The session may include moments of quiet contemplation\, allowing participants to rest\, relax\, and connect. \nConcluding Reflections: The session may end with a period of reflection on the experience and its impact\, providing an opportunity to integrate the learnings. \nDawn Cogliser\, MSN\, FNP-BC\, CARN-AP\, CHC is a Family Nurse Practitioner and founder of Healing Mama Wellness. Dawn is also a Certified Forest Therapy Guide through the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy\, a Certified EcoNIRA teacher\, and founder of EcoRECOVERY for people in recovery from addiction.She is certified in both wilderness first aid/CPR and wilderness mental health first aid and is a registered Guide in Oregon and Redwood National Park.
