Immerse yourself in the beauty of Concord woodlands for greater wellbeing with Forest Bathing, the Japanese practice of shinrin yoku established in the 1980s. Medical scientist Dr. Quin Li’s research revealed how being with trees improves sleep, lowers blood pressure, reduces stress hormones and release phytoncides, antimicrobial organic compouinds that boost immune function.

Step into the restorative embrace of nature through Mondiwell’s guided Forest Bathing sessions, offered on Friday mornings in September and Saturday mornings in October. Lasting approximately 45 minutes, each experience blends gentle mindfulness practices with intentional time in the forest, inviting you to slow down, awaken your senses, reduce the mental noise of daily life, and cultivate a deeper connection with both nature and yourself.
