Restore + Explore: Forest Bathing with Debra Wilbur (June)
“I found myself laying in a cool, dewy patch of grass, early in the morning, in a lush palm grove at The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens. … The grounds were eerily quiet but for the whooshing of leaves in the wind and the intermittent trilling of wild parrots.”
— Deborah Vankin, Staff Writer | latimes.com

About the Instructor:
Debra Wilbur has traveled the Nakasendo Trail in Japan and experienced firsthand where Shinrin-yoku (known here in North America as “forest bathing”) first came into practice. Wilbur is a certified Association of Nature and Forest Therapy guide who combines that practice with foraging knowledge and a regard for astrology, nature, ritual, and ceremony to create a singular nature-based immersion—aimed at quieting the mind and body, easing stress, freeing the imagination, and creating community among strangers. insideoutimmersion.com
