First time I have been to this space at the seemingly immortal Gsrden of the Gods. Rest awhile and be. That’s forest bathing 😌

Remembering with gratitude the many beautiful forest bathers and the immersions we enjoyed as the natural world welcomed us on our 2025 walks. (I don’t take many pics until our closing tea or while creating ephemeral art) Thank you. Thank you dear humans and all our kin in the more than human world for your gifts this year.
First walk on 2026 on January 1 ~ our 7th Annual First Day Forest Bathing Walk at Mueller State Park! Scroll to Jan. 1 to register. https://cpwconnect.state.co.us/Calendar

Bending with the wind…then returning to stillness. Thank you roots that keep us resilient.

Walking with the long shadows Im remembering this poem and letting myself imagine being without a number/calendar date.
Time with the more-than-human world isn’t about escaping the reality of the human world; just remembering there are other realities and truths much larger and more enduring than ours..

Dew Light by W.S. Merwin

Now in the blessed days of more and less
when the news about time is that each day
there is less of it I know none of that
as I walk out through the early garden
only the day and I are here with no
before or after and the dew looks up
without a number or a present age

Rocks, trees and earth invite us to deepen our relationship with more-than-human beings who are solid, thriving and life giving. It’s always a grounding time slowing down for walks at Garden of the Gods. Can you step away for some slow time on our next walk, Saturday, Nov. 8, 9:30-12:30?

This wellness practice which, Japanese in origin, led by Therapy Guide Jane Scanlon. Pre-registration required, $10 per guest, limit 10 guests
