Welcome to the registration page for the workshop: Breathe with Trees *This workshop has been approved for PD funding and 3 hours of release time for Alberta Early Childhood Educators* Come and experience a Forest Bathing Walk to promote and support your personal well-being, followed by time to learn ways and strategies to provide this practice for children.Forest Bathing, also referred to as “forest therapy”, is a practice grounded in research that supports health and wellness through guided experiences in forests and other natural environments. You will be guided through a sequence of invitations designed to help your body and mind slow down, tune into your senses, and experience the environment in a way that supports you to deepen your connection with the natural world as well as yourself. It’s an ‘invitation’ to step away from the chatter in your mind and simply show up in the moment resulting in an overall sense of well-being. Ongoing research continues to reveal scientific evidence for what many of us have intuitively known: spending time in nature is good for us.
