Spring Renewal Morning Guided Forest Bathing at Missouri Botanical Garden

In Partnership with Missouri Botanical Gardens

Spring is in full bloom, and the garden is alive with fresh energy, color, and possibility. This Guided Forest Bathing & Nature Therapy Walk offers a chance to pause, breathe deeply, and immerse in the vibrancy of spring.

Inspired by Shinrin-Yoku, this gentle experience encourages participants to release stress, awaken the senses, and reconnect with nature’s rhythms.

What to Expect:

A slow, intentional walk through the unfolding beauty of spring.

Guided invitations to engage the senses and deepen presence.An opportunity to reconnect with nature as it blooms into life.

Guided by Jess Thenhaus, Certified Forest and Nature Therapy Guide with Urban Forest Therapy, this experience is a leisurely walk, not a strenuous hike, designed to support deep relaxation and connection. Through gentle, sensory-based invitations, you’ll engage with the natural world at a slower pace, using all your senses.

Each session includes time for quiet reflection, optional sharing, and simple practices you can bring into your daily life to nurture your connection with nature.

Each walk at the Missouri Botanical Garden is a distinctive encounter, welcoming individuals of all fitness levels.
