Forest Therapy

This autumn is unlike any in recent history as COVID-19 wreaks havoc on life and lifestyles. A walk in a woods or park can be deeply therapeutic. The crisp air, the soothing gurgle of a stream, birdsong, dappled sunlight, the rich color palette of tree leaves--all work their magic to ease stress and worry. Researchers advise that total immersion in the experience (called forest bathing) provides the longest lasting benefits. Disconnecting from all electronic devices (phones, music players, cameras) and plugging into nature not only eases anxiety but refreshes the mind and senses.
