Shinrin Yoku

Have you been on one of the Waukee Parks & Recreation’s Shinrin Yoku (Forest Bathing) walks and wondered what the practice is like in Japan? Or maybe you’ve considered joining a walk but weren't quite sure what Shinrin Yoku is?

Learn about forest therapy with Certified Nature + Forest Therapy Guide Brandy Case Haub of Intertwined Iowa. She’ll share photos and stories of her recent trip to Japan, including the experience of Shinrin Yoku in the forests where the practice originated 40 years ago. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about Shinrin Yoku, ask questions, and try Japanese tea and snacks. Come learn about this Japanese philosophy that uniquely connects nature and wellness!
