  • If you get separated from the group during the walk, please return to the Grenadier Café. We will be ending our walk here as well.

Accessibility Level:
Forest Bathing is intended to be inviting, gentle, and accessible to all participants who want to experience nature in a new way. No prior experience with forest therapy, mindfulness, or nature knowledge is required. I’ll begin with a brief introduction to High Park and what forest bathing is, and then you’ll have a chance to try it.
