“I am completing my certification in Forest Bathing through the Forest Therapy Hub. Forest Bathing is a wellness practice that originated in Japan in the 1980’s. In Japan, it is known as shirin yoku. Shirin in Japanese means “forest” and yoku means “bath”, so forest bathing is bathing in the environment of a forest or taking in the forest through your senses. It is an immersive self care practice that seeks to enhance health holistically through connecting with nature through our senses and nature based activities. We will be engaging in these activities together on April 7th from 8-10am in McGolrick Park in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, NY 11222.

I plan to offer more of these engagements on a sliding scale fee in the greater NY area. Please email meat beawolert@gmail.com if you are interested in being added to my mailing list.” -Beatrice Wolert ‘22
