Join Chip Matthews from Evergreen Endeavors as he introduces outdoor enthusiasts of all skill levels to the tranquility of nature. Chip offers guided therapy walks and forest bathing to help develop a more optimistic and creative mindset. Hikes take place throughout Western New York, including at Letchworth State Park.

A forest therapy walk, inspired by Shinrin-yoku (forest bathing), is a guided outdoor healing practice.  A forest therapy walk is led by trained guides, who invite participants to slow down, open their senses, and experience nature in order to deepen their reciprocal relationship with the forest.  Participants spend time in silence, listening and feeling with a quiet and accepting presence. They have the opportunity to become reconnected with their senses and their innate creative potential, which allows the imagination to awaken.
