Elvehjem Trail Digital Forest BathDe-stress and let the medicine of the forest heal you as you embark on a digitally guided Forest Bathing Walk at Madison's Elvehjem Sanctuary Trail. A step-by-step picture & written guide with optional audio will be sent to you after the purchase, along with free handouts on how to make forest bathing a regular part of your life in order to receive the maximum health benefits of time spent in nature. Why would you pay for this? It's a much deeper way to experience nature that is unlike anything else. It is often compared to a 'coming home' type of feeling, but you need to give yourself a 2-3 hour window to truly drop into the practice. As a guide, it takes about 5 hours to prepare a walk - but 10 hours for a digital walk after all is said and done. We truly appreciate the support, as your purchase helps keep wellness jobs like this one afloat during COVID-19 closures. Yoga Nidra + Sound Bath
Join us for a 30 minute Yoga Nidra practice followed by a 60 minute sound healing concert. Comfortable anti-gravity chairs keep the body relaxed. Price is a base. Get a group of 8 or more together, and email Moira to coordinate the event. Pricing ranges between $25-35/person depending on your group size.
