Forest Walk – A ProWoc Wellness Event
September 4, 2021 @ 12:30 pm - 3:30 pm CEST
Free – 150$
Post Summer Recharge
Recharge after the summer with a guided therapeutic forest walk facilitated by Annelise Goldstein and Mette Lohse of Alegria, a reflection session facilitated by Psychotherapist and life coach Yema Ferreira. A scrumptious catered lunch sponsored by Café OHA and a goodie bag to enjoy after the event!
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.
Please wear comfortable shoes and warm clothing appropriate for the weather. We will walk rain or shine so good outdoor gear is recommended. You may also want to bring a bottle of water.
Venue: Store Hareskov (Meeting Point: Hareskov Station Parkeringsplads)
The deadline for signing up is September 2nd –
Gold members– Free / Bronze members – 100 DKK / Non-members – 150 DKK
