Description
Celebrate Mother's Day in the embrace of spring's fullness at Potomac Overlook Regional Park. This special forest bathing experience offers a chance to slow down in the comfort of nature - whether you're a mother, sharing the experience with a mother, or simply wish to connect with Mother Nature.Join certified forest bathing guide Ilana Rubin of Kindred Nature for a gentle morning of mindful nature connection. Through guided sensory invitations, contemplative walking, and peaceful moments of reflection, you'll discover the sweet joy of being present with spring's abundance. Our journey culminates in sharing tea and light snacks beneath the leafy canopy, celebrating the nurturing spirit that flows through all of nature.
All adults are welcome, with no experience needed. We'll walk less than a mile at a contemplative pace over various terrain (paved/unpaved, flat/sloped), with activities adaptable to your comfort level. This program offers a unique way to honor Mother's Day - come alone for peaceful reflection, or share the experience with someone special in your life. To learn more about forest bathing, you are welcome to explore Kindred Nature, watch this video from the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy Guides and Programs, or this video from CBS Mornings.
