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. This event is coordinated by Hoyt Arboretum and registration is required through their website.

SUMMARY:Ikebana International Chrysanthemum Show
DESCRIPTION:Ikebana International (Portland Chapter #47) celebrates the chrysanthemum in this special\, two-day only exhibition in the Yanai Classroom. Ikebana International first celebrated Kiku Matsuri\, the Chrysanthemum Festival\, at Portland Japanese Garden in 1983. Local ikebana artists from various schools\, or styles\, will create arrangements featuring chrysanthemums\, known as kiku in Japanese. Ikebana\, a Japanese artform\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers\,” and is unique from other approaches to flower arrangement. In ikebana\, asymmetry and the use of empty space are essential features of the overall composition. A sense of harmony among the materials\, the container\, and the setting is also crucial.

SUMMARY:The Essential Shift
DESCRIPTION:There is magic in the forest—in the trees! Step away from the demands of your busy life and the noise of the world. Come into the quiet wonder of the forest\, where trees offer a grounded welcome. When you meet a tree and feel the same life force moving through you both\, something inside remembers—you are home.  The to-do’s and the worries fade away. This workshop is created for you to quiet the chatter in your mind and experience an essential shift to the present.   For most people\, this pivotal shift happens more easily in nature. Flora will guide you through Qigong movements\, Tree Transformation Card readings\, and other practices to assist in this essential shift.
