Based on the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku\, this practice is similar to meditation\, but instead of sitting quietly\, you will use all of your senses to explore your environment. Observing the nature preserve by breathing in the fresh air\, feeling the dirt beneath you\, or having a fern frond brush against you can have lasting effects on your stress level and ability to stay in the moment. Previous participants were surprised at how impactful they found this experience even as a first-timer. You will be guided through a series of “invitations” or elements in nature to focus on which will allow your mind to relax and stay more in the moment. Each session ends with sharing tea with the other participants; a chance to share what you experience in a welcoming environment. Learn more about forest bathing HERE. \n \n \n \n \n \n Admission is priced at either $35 or $50 to ensure accessibility\, while also fairly compensating our partners; pay what feels right for you. Please note that we need at least 7 participants to host this event. We will send an email the week before to confirm. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n What Previous Participants Say\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n “I felt connected to this place and my tree.”\n \n \n \n \n \n -10th grade student after participating with her class\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n “The leader was very respectful of everyone and allowed everyone to choose how to participate in the mindfulness… gave space to individuals to make their own path.”\n \n \n \n \n \n – Mountaineer after participating in a mindful restoration project at SHADOW\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n “I left feeling refreshed…”\n \n \n \n \n \n – Mountaineer after participating in mindful restoration at SHADOW URL:https://shadowhabitat.org/event/guided-forest-meditation-2/ LOCATION:Shadow Lake Nature Preserve\, 21656 184th Ave SE\, Renton\, WA\, 98058\, United States CATEGORIES:Community Class,Guided Nature Walks,Partner Workshop,Summer Programs ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://shadowhabitat.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/CFTxVA-10.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Cecilia":MAILTO:cecilia@shadowhabitat.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240629T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240629T160000 DTSTAMP:20260418T015803 CREATED:20240502T224454Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240524T221418Z UID:27086-1719666000-1719676800@shadowhabitat.org SUMMARY:Felting Bog Mushrooms with PNW Biology DESCRIPTION:Are you captivated by the hidden world of fungi?

DESCRIPTION:Did you know that one chickadee family brings between 390-570 caterpillars to their hatchlings per day? While most of us don’t get as excited to see a caterpillar as we might to spot an owl or eagle\, these invaluable animals are responsible for supporting the wide web of animals that can be found in the PNW. Because of this\, we can use the number of insects found in an area to hint at how healthy the ecosystem is overall. On this guided nature walk we will wander in the woods while we talk about the important role bugs play in our ecosystem\, and even get some hands-on practice with surveying caterpillars! \nGuided nature walks happen rain or shine\, so please dress to keep yourself warm and dry.
