About this event

Have you heard of ecotherapy? Nature immersion or forest bathing perhaps?

Ecotherapy is the healing and nourishing effect of being in nature. Science is catching up with this free, age-old practice of looking to nature for improved health and wellness.

Learn how to deeply experience nature and build your mindfulness muscle on this slow wander and reap the mind and body benefits.

Your ecotherapy guide, Sarah Freeman, will take you on a mindful wander through nature to help you connect with yourself, you senses and the natural world around you.

The location alternates each week between the rainforest section of the Narrabeen Lagoon, and Warriewood Wetlands.

During the activity there will be periods of silent mindful walking to practice connection with nature and opportunities to reflect on and share your experiences.

The walk goes slowly from Jamieson Park towards South Creek Reserve and back. The route is under 2km in total and the group will stop and start along the route.

When: 10am – 11.30am Wednesdays

Where: Jamieson Park, The Esplanade, Narrabeen NSW 2101.

Meet on the grass area to the right of the boat ramp at Jamieson Park.

Cost: Free

What to bring: Water, mask, hat, sunscreen, mozzie repellant; and wear good footwear and clothing to keep you warm when sitting outside.
