SUMMARY:Forest Therapy Walk
DESCRIPTION:Emily PleasanceForest Therapy WalkExperience the healing power of nature as you stroll through serene woodlands\, breathe in the fresh air\, and engage in mindful practices designed to rejuvenate your mind\, body\, and spirit. 🌲🌿✨ \nLed by Emily Pleasance\, an artist and certified Nature & Forest Therapy Guide\, this program is designed to help you slow down\, drop into the body\, and better connect with yourself and the natural world.

Currently studying at a private college in Tkaronto\, she is training to be an Expressive Arts Therapist. \nThroughout her life Emily has worked with children and youth in the arts and outdoor recreation. She is currently working at a studio providing inclusive and accessible arts-based programming specialized in diverse neuro & physical disabilities. Founder of the Forest Bathing Club\, Emily has guided walks throughout the GTA for a variety of communities. She received a BA in Photography from TMU and a Masters in Communication & Culture from York+TMU focusing on The North and Canadian Art. Emily is passionate about helping Canadians build relationships with land through Forest Therapy and the Expressive Arts. \nA Note From Emily and What to Expect From the WalkThis is a very slow and relaxed walk of approximately 3 hrs and with a route no more than 1 km. Unlike hikes where there is a destination\, these walks aren’t about going anywhere in particular. We’re not going there\, we’re arriving here. \nWe start with an opening circle to meet each other and ground ourselves in the space. Throughout the walk\, you will be given a series of “invitations\,” all of which allow you to drop into the body and be in relation with the environment. Guides work in partnership with the forest to see what nature is offering that day. This means every walk is a completely different experience. \nThere will be opportunities on the walk to share stories and connect with other participants. The walk will close with a circle. This is a come as you are space\, meaning all ways of being are welcome.
