Guest Speaker at our AGM – Kristie Virgoe from Kawartha Conservation

Guest Speaker at our AGM – Kristie Virgoe from Kawartha Conservation

February 19, 2018 Events

“There is something about the smell of the damp forest floor, the sound of the birds singing and leaves jostling in the wind.  We slow down, we breathe deeper, we feel our mind slowly release the tension of the day.  This is forest bathing.”

Kristie Virgoe, Director, Stewardship & Conservation Lands at Kawartha Conservation is coming to our AGM as our guest speaker to give us a peek in the world of Shinrin-Yoku or forest bathing.  Kristie is a Certified Forest Therapy Guide.  “It is more than just a walk in the forest, it is about deepening our relationship with the more than human world.  The health benefits are well documented in scientific study, but more importantly, you will FEEL them simply by participating.  Shinrin-Yoku is the practice of immersing yourself in the natural environment.  This art is centuries old, but became a formal program in Japan in the 1980’s as a response to an ailing population.  Through this gentle wandering we boost our immune systems, reduce our stress hormones, lower our cholesterol and improve our mental health.”

Come out and enjoy Kristie’s presentation and take part in our 3rd AGM.

TIME:  Doors open at 12:30 pm, meeting starts at 1:00 pm until about 3:30 pm.  Light refreshments served at 2:00 pm.
