Happy Feet Healthy Heart 5K Walk
Annual Forest Bathing
Sunday, September 8, 2024
Presented By:
Happy Feet Walkers Club
What exactly is Forest Bathing? The term emerged in Japan as a physiological and psychological exercise called shinrin-yoku which means "forest bathing" or "taking in the forest atmosphere". The purpose is twofold: to offer an eco-antidote to tech-boom burnout and to inspire the community to reconnect with and protect local forest preserves. We are fortunate to have so many forest preserves in the Chicagoland area. Let's take part in the first Forest Bathing event organized by HFWC along with our annual 5K.
