forest bathing at shield ranch

Looking for a way to bring mindfulness + meditation off your mat and into the great natural beauty of the Texas Hill Country? We're so excited to offer our Oak + Lotus community $10 off reservations for Forest Bathing at Shield Ranch this May. 

 

Join Justine Kies, an Association of Nature and Forest Therapy certified guide, for Forest Bathing, a form of guided meditation rooted in finding deep connection in nature. Forest Bathing is based on the Japanese healing art of “shinrin-yoku” focused on the health benefits of spending time immersed in the natural world. 

​

Let your senses come alive as you walk 1.5 miles of tranquil trails, pausing for guided mindfulness sessions. Participants will use their senses to connect with nature through guided invitations and prompts. Group-sharing circles and moments of reflection are woven throughout this mindfulness experience.  A light snack and tea will also be provided. 

​

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to connect with nature amidst the serene setting of Shield Ranch Barton Creek, 6,400 acres of protected wildlands located just 18 miles from downtown Austin!
