After the walk\, we’ll settle in for a creative art session using natural materials and inspiration from what we’ve seen. \nThis month’s workshop will focus on fall bird migration! As the seasons change\, many birds are making their way south for the winter\, while others are just arriving in San Francisco to spend the colder months. During our garden exploration\, we’ll look for migrating birds passing through\, as well as winter visitors like ducks and sapsuckers that may be starting to arrive. We’ll learn about the amazing journeys birds make each year and discover how the garden provides important habitat along the way. \nWhether you’re spotting birds in the treetops or creating bird-inspired artwork\, this class connects kids and parents with nature in a fun and meaningful way. Bring your curiosity\, your binoculars\, and get ready to explore\, create\, and learn together! \n—  \nGardens of Golden Gate Park Members may attend this event at a 20% discount.

SUMMARY:November Forest Bathing
DESCRIPTION:This program offers tiered ticketing to encourage greater diversity of participants from the community. Please consider selecting the highest tier you can afford\, knowing that\, by doing so\, you’re helping others to participate.

Due to the slow and contemplative nature of this experience\, we recommend participants be at least 12 years of age.  \nImmerse yourself in the serene beauty of the natural world on a forest bathing walk.  Inspired by the Japanese tradition of shinrin-yoku\, this mindful\, slow-paced journey invites participants to engage all senses connecting deeply with the sights\, sounds\, and textures of the forest\, guided by prompts to pause and notice the intricate details of leaves\, the soothing rhythm of bird songs\, and the earthy scent of the soil lowering stress levels\, reducing blood pressure\, and enhancing overall well-being.  \nBeneficial beyond relaxation\, this practice honors and deepens our relationship with the Earth\, inviting us to recognize our part in the intricate web of life by slowing down\, attuning to nature\, and inspiring a sense of stewardship and gratitude. This walk is not about exercise or reaching a destination — it’s about being fully present and experiencing the healing\, rejuvenating power of nature. In a world without separation\, such connection includes connecting with other humans through sharing and bearing witness to our shared experience. Whether you’re seeking stress relief\, emotional balance\, or simply a deeper connection to the natural world\, a forest bathing walk is a simple yet profound way to nurture both body and soul. \nAbout the Instructor\nBen Page is a Forest Therapy Guide\, council carrier\, DJ\, creator of Story Weaving and the author of Healing Trees: A Pocket Guide to Forest Bathing\, The Wild Garden and The World In My Pocket. His work focuses on the philosophical ethic of non-striving and self-love as a gateway to inner peace and compassionate action.
