Forest Bathing is a guided forest walk typically lasting for one to two hours, providing a gentle and physically undemanding experience in a natural setting. 

Unlike a hike, there is no specific destination or distance to be measured. Instead, your guide leads participants through a series of sensory invitations that allow people to have fun engaging with their environment and find moments of reflection and inspiration. 

Forest bathing (or shinrin-yoku) has been popular in Japan for decades and is gaining momentum in the US. A growing number of scientific studies show that forest bathing practices lower stress and blood pressure levels and increase immune system functioning.

Accessibility: These sessions are slow-paced and generally cover less than a mile of trail. The lower garden can be accessed by the new boardwalk.

Kruckeberg Botanic Garden is located at 20312 15th Ave NW, Shoreline, WA 98177
