Monday June 22nd 5:30 - 7 pm
Solstice Evening Shinrin-yoku walk
Celebrate the Solstice and our latest sunset of the year with a guided walk integrating elements of Shinrin-yoku (Japanese Forest Bathing) and Mindfulness Meditation. As we transition from Spring to Summer, bask in a full sensory immersion of Nature – the gorgeous vibrant colors of the garden in the early evening light, the birds singing their end of day songs, and the shifting energy of light and shadow. Slow down, breathe deep as you are led in practices which soothe body and spirit as we honor Nature’s restorative abundance in this season of Light

This small botanic garden is a hidden gem at the north end of Lake Washington. The founders are the authors of Gardening with Native Plants of the Pacific Northwest, a classic gardening guide. . Check the Kruckeberg Botanic Garden website for the latest happenings or to sign up for the newsletter
Jessica will be taking a break from teaching at the Kruckeberg Botanic Garden, but we encourage you to go wander in the beautiful garden on your own!
We hope to be teaching every season at the Bellevue Botanical Garden, including some longer Saturday Forest Bathing in the Ravine classes. We are also hoping to add classes at Soos Creek Botanical Garden and some new locations as well. Stay tuned!
Most of our classes are filling up weeks in advance. To find out about them before anyone else, sign up for our newsletter HERE.


For those looking for a longer, more immersive experience, this may be for you! A Shinrin-yoku (Japanese Forest Bathing) walk typically requires at least 3 hours, preferably in a quiet, wild natural setting away from urban distractions. More info soon!

If you have any ideas or suggestions of where we could teach a future class or if you have a favorite wandering spot you'd like to share, please let us know.
We'd also love to tell you more about individual Mindful in the Wild sessions.
