Forest Bathing
Listen to the lilting song of a bird; smell the earthy scent of autumn leaves; feel the gentle breeze against your skin.
Join Lauren Mohn of Lilac Nature Connection for an immersive experience here at the Cumming Nature Center. Forest bathing is a gentle, guided practice of slowing down and being present. Through a series of simple invitations, participants are guided to engage their senses and connect more deeply with their surroundings. This is not a strenuous hike, and we won’t focus on plant identification or naturalist skills. Instead, the emphasis is on deepening connections with yourself, others, and the natural world.
join us!
Take some time to reconnect with nature – and notice the changes in the forest around you – and inside yourself.
Adults and mature teens* seeking to deepen their connection with nature are encouraged to participate! This session will run from 10am to 12pm.

Lauren Mohn holds a PhD in Botany and is a Certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide through the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy (ANFT). After years in ethnobotanical research, teaching, and outreach, she came to learn that the core of her work has always been supporting others in deepening connections with the natural world. She co-founded Lilac Nature Connection with Elio Lewis to focus on this more directly. As a forest bathing guide, Lauren offers space for people to slow down and reconnect with nature in ways we’re all capable of, ways that can support both our wellbeing and the wellbeing of the land.
