Presented by: WBA Wellbeing Committee
Co-Sponsored by: Young Lawyers Committee

Natural and historic places have the power to educate and to heal, to embolden, and to change us.  Autumn is a wonderful time to connect with the natural world and to take time to settle into the new season. Join us for an immersive walk in the tradition of Shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, a Japanese wellness practice that helps individuals access the healing properties of nature.

This is a recurring, rejuvenating and one of our most popular well-being events the WBA provides. All are welcome.
