Join us for Forest Bathing at Daniel Stowe Conservancy in Belmont ,2026-09-19 . Learn more about this event others in Gaston County on GoGastonNC. September 19, 2026 Forest Bathing Learn More Daniel Stowe Conservancy Venue Info 6500 S New Hope Rd, Belmont, NC 28012, USA 4:00 AM Time: - 6:00 AM 704-825-4490 Join Angie on this journey to unplug, slow down, and reconnect with yourself and the natural world around you. Forest Bathing (also known as the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku) invites you to explore the natural world using your five senses. This is not a hike or naturalist walk; it’s a meditative, guided wander in nature. And there’s a growing body of scientific knowledge that demonstrates the benefits of spending time in nature like this, as a wellness practice and as an effective way to manage stress. Benefits include: · Boosting your immune system through inhaling phytoncides, essential oils emitted by trees, plus other beneficial microscopic particles that are stirred up as you walk · Reducing blood pressure, respiration, and heart rate · Reducing stress, improving mood, increasing energy, and improving sleep · Increased capacity for empathy and kindness (self and others) · Increased ability to think strategically (“Executive Thinking”) · Increased ability to think more creatively (“Original Thoughts”) Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable clothes and shoes for walking on uneven surfaces along dirt or gravel covered trails and for sitting down on grass, pine needles, or bare dirt. Bring a hat, sunglasses, layers, or rain gear. Please check the weather as we forest bathe in sun, rain, wind, or snow. Sunscreen and/or bug spray might be appropriate, too. Bring your own water and snacks if needed and a small backpack to carry these personal items. Your guide will have small sit pads available for you to use or you can bring your own yoga mat, towel, or blanket. < PREVIOUS CALENDAR NEXT >
