Join Mindful Outdoor Nature Guide Jane Dobson for the Japanese practice of Forest Bathing. Unlike a typical walk in the woods, Forest Bathing is slower and more deliberate, allowing our bodies and minds to reset in the natural environment we evolved from. Nature exposure lowers blood pressure and heart rate, reduces stress, and boosts our immune system and mood. Join any one walk or the full series as we explore different aspects of nature connection. Reconnect with nature, oneself and others. Space is limited, reservations required.

Please wear appropriate walking shoes, dress for weather (including sunscreen and bug spray as needed), and carry water.
Meet at Manitoga’s Visitor/Guide House next to the parking lot located at 584 Route 9D in Garrison, NY. You will be welcomed just before the walk begins. Manitoga does not allow pets, emotional support animals, comfort animals, or therapy dogs. Only ADA Title III service animals are permitted.
PLEASE NOTE:

Manitoga does not allow pets, emotional support animals, comfort animals, or therapy dogs due to the sensitive habitat. Only ADA Title III service animals are permitted. Manitoga has observed and determined that pets, even on leash, threaten the character of the designed landscape. Stepping stones through fern meadows, moss carpets, and ephemeral pools that provide habitat for sensitive species are vulnerable to dog and cat traffic and waste. To fully respect and contemplate the design and nature of the trails, please leave your pets at home.
You are welcome to picnic while hiking but please carry in-carry out. Please help keep the paths clean.
