Forest Day at Zenwood (Non-Silent)

Service Description

A Guided Nature Immersion Featuring Forest Bathing, Meditation, Yoga Nidra & Reflection Take a break from the busyness of everyday life and immerse yourself in a day of nature, mindfulness, and deep restoration. This is not a silent retreat. While there will be moments of quiet reflection and mindful silence throughout the day, you'll be gently guided through each experience. There will also be opportunities to connect with others, enjoy tea and lunch together, and ask questions along the way. Forest Day is intentionally organized to help you slow down, awaken your senses, and reconnect with yourself through the healing presence of nature. We'll enjoy a leisurely forest walk with guided mindfulness practices before returning to the comfort of Zenwood for tea, lunch, Yoga Nidra, and reflection. No meditation experience is necessary—just bring an open mind and a willingness to be present.
