Join April, PCCC's Assistant Director, for a Walk in the Woods combined with elements of Shinrin-yoku, the Japanese practice of Forest Bathing. Forest Bathing is the practice of walking in a meditative mode among trees with many physical, mental, and spiritual benefits. Participants will be guided in a stroll through the forest and come together to discuss what they experienced, reacted, and felt at the end.

WHEN:
Friday July 31st, 2026
8:30 AM - 10:00 AM
Visitors should arrive at least fifteen minutes before the event to become orientated.

WHERE:
Prairie Creek Conservation Cemetery
7204 SE County Road 234
Gainesville, FL 32641
We will plan to meet in the parking area at the head of the Kathy Cantwell (Blue) Trail.

COME PREPARED:
Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing and sturdy shoes. Bring drinking water if desired. Most of all, bring an open mind. Expect to heighten awareness of the natural world around you and feel the benefits in body, mind and spirit. Cell phones, cameras, distracting scents, and pets are all highly discouraged.
