It's the Group's 50th anniversary of protecting the nature of the East End and we're so happy to be back this summer with fun and engaging programs!
Summer has finally burst forth; it’s warm, everything is blooming, and the forest is a delicious green that knows no bounds. Join us along with Long Island’s certified forest therapy guide, Linda Lombardo, on a summer forest bathing experience at Downs Farm Preserve in Cutchogue.
How might you open your senses differently in summer? And, the summer solstice… time to celebrate what that means to you. We’ll walk, find some gifts from the forest, even share some poetry and meditation, as we connect with self, others and nature.
Based on the Japanese tradition of Shinrin-Yoku, this unique, gentle walk inspires mindful connections with all the natural elements of Downs Farm Preserve for a range of healthful benefits. All precautions for COVID will be taken, including social distancing. According to Linda, "Take this time to be present, lower the stress you may be experiencing, and connect with nature, which naturally boosts your immune system."
Spaces are limited, pre-registration is required. Limited to 14 participants. Adults only. Non-refundable Materials Fee: $8
