ProWoc Annual Wellness Event – Forest Walk and Fitness

Recharge after the summer with a guided therapeutic forest walk facilitated by Annelise Goldstein followed by a light workout with fitness coach Abdouile.

Forest Therapy builds on the Japanese practice known as “Shinrin-yoku” (or in English, Forest Bathing) which is the practice of spending time in forested areas for the purpose of enhancing health, well-being, and happiness. It is called “therapy” because spending time in nature invites healing interactions.

It is not a hike. The pace is slow and no longer than 500 meters. The walk lasts about one and a half hours and involves both moving, standing still, or sitting.

After the walk, fitness coach Abdouile will run a light fitness session where you get to move your body and reflect on your fitness goals. You’ll also get time to speak 1:1 about your fitness ambitions. Any ProWoc member interested in having Abdouile as their fitness trainer gets 10% discount.

Please wear comfortable shoes and sporty clothing appropriate for the weather and light exercise. You may also want to bring a bottle of water.

Bring a yoga mat or a blanket. We will provide a light brunch.

Registration closes at midnight Wednesday, September 13, 2023
