Lifelong Learning Lecture: Forest Bathing

Presented by Dr. Kelly Ann Kolodny, Professor of Education, FSU

In this presentation, Dr. Kolodny introduces participants to shinrin-yoku, which translates to forest bathing. Developed in Japan in 1980s, the practice of forest bathing recognizes the physical, mental, and spiritual benefits that unfold from spending increased time in the natural world.

The growing practice of forest bathing has resulted in hundreds of scientific research studies, as well as many countries establishing connected public health policies. In an effort to learn more about this practice, Dr. Kolodny spent a year studying with an international cohort of the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy, resulting in her becoming a certified forest therapy guide.
