Winter Solstice Forest Bathing for Wellness and Recovery
In collaboration with Stacey Vinci, LMFT

Celebrate the turning of the seasons with Winter Solstice Forest Bathing for Wellness and Recovery. This guided program is part of a seasonal series designed to support healing, mindfulness, and personal growth by aligning with nature’s transitions throughout the year.

Led by Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Stacey Vinci, you’ll slow down, quiet the mind, and engage your senses through gentle, intentional activities inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku (“forest bathing”). As the forest rests in winter, the crisp air, stillness, and quiet beauty of the season offer an opportunity to reconnect with yourself and the natural world.

Held at a Wildlands Conservancy's Black River Sanctuary, the peaceful setting offers a restorative space for reflection and renewal.

Important Details:

• Participants will hike approximately 1 mile on moderate to challenging terrain.
• Dress for the weather.
• Wear orange for hunting season

This program is open to individuals from all walks of recovery; whether from substance use, trauma, grief, mental health challenges, or life transitions. No prior experience is needed, just an open heart and a willingness to be present.
