Awaken all your senses by mindfully walking in nature. You will experience a profound restoration effect by aligning with the rhythms of nature. This awareness will allow you to find balance, joy and serenity within yourself. By slowing down and pacing yourself to the rhythm of nature, this will expand and deepen your knowledge of the healing powers of nature. Meet in Canticle Park. Wear walking shoes. Bring a walking stick if you choose.

Loretta Mogan, a Minnesota Master Naturalist, is herself a steward of our natural environment, and teacher and guide for others. A certified Shinrin Yoku Guide from Whitewater State Park has trained her. This Japanese Practice is a process of deep relaxation amongst trees in order to de-stress and boost health and well-being in a natural way.
