SUMMARY:Forest Bathing
DESCRIPTION:Experience a guided forest bathing walk through Hoyt Arboretum’s unique tree collection and forested areas. Forest Bathing offers many health benefits from stress relief to immune system and mood support. Forest therapy is a research-based framework for supporting healing and wellness through immersion in forests and other natural environments. Forest therapy is inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku\, which translates to “forest bathing.” Studies have demonstrated a wide array of health benefits\, especially in the cardiovascular and immune systems\, and for stabilizing and improving mood and cognition. We build on those benefits and look beyond\, to what happens when people remember that we are a part of nature\, not separate from it\, and are related to all other beings in fundamental ways. This event is coordinated by Hoyt Arboretum\, and registration is required through their website.

SUMMARY:Modern Kintsugi Workshop with Emi Joyce
DESCRIPTION:Portland Japanese Garden is partnering with Emi Joyce\, a Portland-based kintsugi restorer and instructor\, to provide two modern kintsugi workshops on September 21st. Kintsugi (金継ぎ\, gold joinery) is the Japanese craft of repairing ceramics. In this centuries-old practice\, fractures transform from hidden weak points into beautiful golden elements worth celebrating. The philosophy of kintsugi teaches us to embrace imperfections in our life and appreciate the beauty of human flaws. While the traditional method used by experts is challenging and requires cautious handling of materials like urushi lacquer\, the “modern” kintsugi method uses accessible materials and is ideal for beginners.

SUMMARY:Phone Photography: Make the Ordinary Extraordinary
DESCRIPTION:With skills learned in session one\, you’ll shoot photos and work with them in your camera’s native editing tools. Then we will broaden your horizons with free and simple-to-use powerful mobile editing apps. Learn to adjust many elements that will transform your photos from “snapshots” to “works of art” that you will be proud to share. Color\, composition and lighting are just a few of the basic requirements of a good photo. There are many other features in the editing software I share and demonstrate that will help you gain the ultimate control over your photo and provide a more artistic touch. And a couple of special effects will be demonstrated. All you’ll need to bring is a charged smart phone\, your enthusiasm to learn new techniques and your desire to have fun. This event is coordinated by Hoyt Arboretum\, and registration is required through their website.

SUMMARY:Qigong
DESCRIPTION:Looking to slow down\, breathe deeper\, and move with intention? Join instructor Steven for a calming Qigong session beneath the canopy of the Hoyt Arboretum.

SUMMARY:Tai Chi: Introduction to Better Balance
