Forest Bathing – 9/12/2026

Forest Bathing (also known as Shinrin-Yoku) is not a hike, fitness walk, or naturalist-led program – instead, it is a unique opportunity to slow down, awaken your senses, and connect with the natural world in nourishing and meaningful ways. Through a series of gentle invitations by an ANFT Certified guide, you’ll have the chance to deepen your relationship with the land and its inhabitants, as well as share in that experience with others.

In addition to feeling more grounded, calm, and peaceful, when practiced regularly, Forest Bathing has been shown to support overall well-being, including reduced stress, lower blood pressure, improved sleep, enhanced creativity and focus, and even a decrease in anxiety and depression.  Many people also find that they begin to experience familiar parks and forests in new, surprising, and deeply personal ways.

Acid Rain – Homeschool Science – 9/11/2026

This class offers students the opportunity to get a taste for scientific experimentation through a new hands-on science lab each week. We'll be going through the steps of the scientific method, including making hypotheses and data collection, as we explore the world around us. Experiments are designed to supplement lessons aligned with 4th-8th grade science standards. Curriculum written by the educators at Science Buddies.

 

This week, we're exploring how carbon dioxide in the atmosphere turns into acid rain.
