Forest Bathing

  • Penn Forest Natural Burial Park 121 Colorado Street Verona, PA, 15147 United States (map)

Welcome the colorful autumnal season of harvest and reflection with forest bathing, inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku. On this walk your guide, Jenifer Rune, will lead you into slowing down, engaging your senses, and deepening your connection with nature. Through gentle invitations, you’ll be guided to explore the sights, sounds, and textures of the season, fostering relaxation and presence. The walk will conclude with a shared reflection and an herbal tea. No experience is needed—just a willingness to be present.

Please bring a water bottle and dress in layers as temperatures can be cool this time of year and everyone will be moving at a slow pace. Jenifer will provide sit-upons, but feel free to bring a blanket, journal or any other comfort items. The trail has a descent, so sturdy footwear is recommended. We'll walk in light rain, but class will be canceled for heavy rain or thunderstorms. Come with curiosity and a readiness to connect with nature. We look forward to seeing you there!

*This class is offered by Jenifer Rune, an ANFT Certified Forest Therapy Guide, who guides mindful Forest Bathing walks throughout Pittsburgh.
