Forest Bathing in the Blue Ridge Mountains

Forest Bathing Retreat: Winter Solstice Wander

Discover the wisdom of the Winter Solstice in the Blue Ridge Mountains during this immersive afternoon nature connection retreat. A gentle invitational experience to enliven your senses, slow down the hectic pace, quiet your weary mind, and linger in liminality. Together, we will explore natural pathways to equanimity that will help us navigate life’s ups and downs and the holiday season.

Your guide, Christa Hebal, will lead you on a peaceful saunter through the fall forest, weaving mindfulness, breathwork, forest bathing and nature therapy together for a restorative afternoon on some of the trails less traveled at the North Carolina Arboretum. We'll celebrate the experience in community, enjoying a special wild-foraged tea ceremony and snacks. Bring an open mind and an open heart. All are welcome. Presented through Adult & Continuing Education Programs in collaboration with Asheville Wellness Tours.
