A new program entitled Shinrin-Yoku allows participants to explore the woods in a new way. Shinrin-Yoku, also known as Forest Therapy or Forest Bathing, is a Japanese tradition born from a high-stress environment. It is a cornerstone of preventative health care and healing in Japanese medicine. Shinrin-Yoku includes breathing, relaxing, smelling and listening to the forest. The first program in January took place at Laport Reserve and was led by Seasonal Park Naturalist Debra Reed. The group walked a short distance into the woods and sat down in a circle to enjoy some poetry and some guided meditation. Debra led the group through exploring the forest with the senses of sight, hearing, smelling and touch and ended with another poem and the taste of herbal tea. Future Shinrin-Yoku classes take place on March 29 at Round Mountain, April 26 at Musconetcong Gorge and May 24 at Wescott Preserve. All programs run from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm and cost $5 a person. Pre-registration is required. Please visit www.co.hunterdon.nj.us/depts/parks/ parks.htm to download a registration form or call: 908.782.1158 for more information. The programs cap at ten people and are filling up quickly! Participants should bring a camping chair if they are uncomfortable sitting on the ground, or indicate on their registration form that they would like to borrow one. Please note that no restroom facilities are available at these parks.
