SUMMARY:Nature and Forest Therapy Walk
DESCRIPTION:When was the last time you truly slowed down? \n\nJoin our guided Nature and Forest Therapy walk to unplug and reconnect. This experience focuses on slow movement and sensory awareness to discover nature's restorative benefits. \nYour guide will offer gentle invitations to help you engage your senses and experience the landscape in a new way. \nForest Therapy stems from Japanese Shinrin-yoku ("forest bathing")\, which addresses stress and urbanization. Research shows it reduces stress and improves immunity\, a tradition expanded in the U.S. by the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy  integrating elements of mindfulness\, ecotherapy\, psychotherapy\, and wilderness guiding. \nThis Community Event will take place on May 6\, from 9:30 am - 12:30 pm at Asheville Botanical Gardens. The event is open to Integrative Family Medicine members\, and attending is free. However\, this event is limited to 12 seats\, so sign up now to reserve your spot.  \nPlease RSVP via this link to attend. \n  \nYour Guide:\nNancy Krisel\, LCSW\, SEP\, is certified through the ANFT as a Nature and Forest Therapy Guide. She adores time outside and sharing the beauty and wonder of the natural world with others. Her love of nature began in childhood. The birds\, alligators\, banana trees and ocean of her native Florida quietly shaped a lifelong knowing: we are not alone here. We are part of a living\, breathing web of life. Asheville has been her home for more than 20 years\, and she continues to discover new trails and wonders in these ancient mountains. \nNancy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner in Private Practice. She brings a grounded\, compassionate presence to all her work\, characterized by deep listening\, collaboration\, and unconditional positive regard — whether in the therapy room or beneath the trees. \nRSVP via this link to attend.
