Join us for a relaxing, community-centered partnership between the Park District of Oak Park and local bookstore, The Book Loft. This free program invites residents to slow down, unplug, and enjoy the simple pleasure of reading outdoors, spending two peaceful hours in one of the Park District’s beautiful green spaces. Bring a blanket, a snack, and settle in under the trees for quiet time surrounded by nature.
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.
We're hitting the coast and learning about the creatures that live in tide pools, like anemones, urchins, sea stars, and more! Join us as we explore tidal habitats using stories, games, and art..
