Forest Bathing in the Blue Ridge Mountains

Forest Bathing Retreat: Summer in the Blue Ridge

Celebrate the lush beauty of summer in the Blue Ridge Mountains during this immersive morning nature retreat. This experience invites us to cultivate our attention and sensory awareness in the verdant forest. Together, we will explore our relationships with ourselves, each other, and the more-than-human-world.

Your guide, Christa Hebal, will lead you on a gentle journey through the forest, weaving mindfulness, breathwork, forest bathing and nature therapy together for a restorative morning on some of the trails less traveled at the North Carolina Arboretum. We'll celebrate the experience with a community Earth offering, followed by a 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.
