Forest Therpy Walk cancelled today. But don't let that stop you. Get outside and enjoy the magic of snow. Make an angel, build a snowman, make a sculpture, or just take it in with all your senses. Your mind will thank you.

Winter Solstice walk today. A special day for me at Erindale Park. A coyote welcomed me into this place during my pre-walk. A cluster of saplings held me and lured me up into the tree encouraging me to continue to look up and outward. New connections made with lovely people on their first forest bathing experience and a reunion of a few friends who connected with this forest on the first day of Winter. Feeling grateful for such wonderful connections today.
