Forest Walk Listening to Wisdom of Old Growth Forests

Instructor: Julie Ratner

Posted

Join this walk surrounded by legacy and old-growth trees in Squaxin Park, only 2 minutes north of downtown Olympia, WA.

After a welcome to the land and guided meditation, we'll stroll in silence and tune into the sights and sounds of towering 100- to 500-year-old trees.

Explore 2 miles of trails at a comfortable pace under the canopy of a living forest that is a thriving ecosystem, a network of soil fungi, called the "Wood Wide Web."

Awaken to the practice of healing in nature, Shinrin-yoku or "Forest Bathing." Feel revitalized, connected, and centered after a short meditation.

Marvel at the discovery that trees are social; they communicate and nurture each other. Listen to a tree sing using my device that converts the tree's electric signals into notes.
