SUMMARY:Winter Forest Bathing & Tai Chi with Mary Hannah Parkman
DESCRIPTION:Enliven your senses\, refresh your mood\, and boost your immune system with Forest Bathing and Tai Chi among the verdant forests at The Mount. Mary Hannah will guide you in easy-to-follow Tai Chi movements to cultivate vitality and a walking meditation to experience\, “the art of connecting with nature through our senses” – Dr. Qing Lin\, Chairman of the Japanese Society for Forest Medicine\n\n\nBy allowing space to be present in nature and move with nature\, we awaken not only our senses but also wonder\, curiosity\, and our innate capacity for healing. Nature offers us soothing sounds\, stable ground\, and expressions of harmony that guide us home to experience these qualities within ourselves.\n\n  \n\n  \n\nIMPORTANT EVENT INFORMATION: \n\nPre-registration for this event is encouraged; there is a suggested donation of $20/per person.\nThis program meets at The Mount’s Ticket Booth and takes place outdoors\, rain\, snow\, or shine. Please plan your apparel and footwear accordingly—dress in warm layers suitable for movement. Warm\, sturdy footwear is recommended. Micro-spikes are suggested on icy terrain.\nIn the event of extreme weather conditions\, this program will be canceled. Registrants will be notified by email by 12:00 pm the day of the program.\nThere is a short trail walk of 0.5 miles at the start of this program. The Mount’s trails cover a mix of woodchip paths\, grassy areas\, and mostly level woodland trails with some gentle slopes. Surfaces may be uneven\, and participants are advised to be mindful of exposed roots and natural variations underfoot.\nWhile The Mount is a dog-friendly property\, dogs are not permitted in this program.\nQuestions?
