SUMMARY:Valentine's Day Forest Bathing and Tai Chi with Mary Hannah Parkman
DESCRIPTION:This Valentine’s Day\, experience the tried and true after-glow of Forest Bathing and Tai Chi at The Mount. After teaching hundreds of people\, Mary Hannah\, certified Tai Chi instructor\, noticed time and time again the qualities of ease\, peace and kindness in her students after the group sessions. Individuals remark on the beauty of nature and float off to stroll the grounds\, strangers share kind words with another\, and couples embrace.  The simplest explanation for this transformation is that the practices of Tai Chi and Forest Bathing calm the nervous system and cultivate harmony within which feels good. When we feel good\, we want to share it. We naturally care for ourselves\, our beloveds and nature. This is the real sweetness. \n\nPre-registration by email is encouraged: maryhannah.parkman@gmail.com\nPark in Upper Lot and meet by the Ticket Booth.\nThis program covers approximately 0.5 miles on mostly level or gently sloping trail.\nDress for the weather in warm layers suitable for movement.\nWarm sturdy footwear is recommended — Micro-spikes are suggested on icy terrain.\nThis program may be cancelled in the event of severe inclement weather.
