Join Denise McDermott (MSW, LICSW), Association of Nature and Forest Therapy licensed guide on a forest therapy walk in the NW Native Plant Garden. With her guidance, we will slow down and, through an evolving series of sensory-focused invitations, mindfully interact with the world around us. The guide holds space for every person to arrive at their unique relationship with the Earth in their own way while offering opportunities to witness our shared connection with the Earth as human people. Capped at 10.
Dress for our ever-fluctuating Pacific Northwest weather. Layers, umbrellas, hats, gloves, sunblock, raingear. A backpack is not necessary.
Whatever would make you feel most comfortable. If it’s wet, I like to wear rain pants so that I can sit/kneel wherever I’d like without getting wet. Your car will be within one minute of where we are so that you can leave whatever you don’t need in the car.
We are committed to providing Tacoma urban area residents with free trees and free education. If you would like to support this work with a donation, we would grately appreciate it! You can do so here.
Thank you.
We look forward to wandering and wondering about water and trees with you!
