SUMMARY:Nature Therapy Walk: A Shinrin-yoku Experience with Sharon Lohse an
 d Patty Kleiner
DESCRIPTION:“The forest is the therapist. The guide opens the doors.” 
 – M. Amos Clifford\n\nLed by Sharon Lohse\, nature therapy walks are a u
 nique\, immersive\, slow-paced experience with proven health benefits. Ins
 pired by the Japanese practice of forest bathing and led by a certified na
 ture and forest therapy guide\, you will explore the land of the Preserve 
 and awaken your senses to its sounds\, beings\, textures and beauty. This 
 experience is different than a hike or naturalist walk. You will be invite
 d to move slowly\, wander\, pause\, observe and reflect. The emphasis is o
 n unplugging\, calming the mind and engaging with the natural world. Many 
 studies have shown that this type of experience in nature reduces stress\,
  lowers cortisol levels and blood pressure\, increases energy\, enhances s
 leep\, increases natural killer disease-fighting cells and provides an ove
 rall sense of well-being.\n\nSharon Lohse is a psychiatric nurse with cert
 ificates in horticultural therapy\, mindfulness and forest therapy. Her lo
 ve of plants\, trees\, flowers and people is the root of her business\, Mi
 ndful in Nature. She has been a certified guide since January 2019 and ver
 y much enjoys bringing people and plants together. She has transformed her
  yard into a horticultural masterpiece\, winning the Garden of Distinction
  Award in the Pennsylvania Horticulture Society’s annual garden contest.
  In the process\, she discovered how happy people felt after walking her g
 arden trail\, which led Lohse to Delaware Valley University.\n\n\nPatty Kl
 einer is a certified forest therapy guide and a Preserve naturalist. She h
 as had a lifelong affinity for the outdoors and enjoys sharing the healing
  power of nature with others. An avid photographer of the natural world\, 
 her work has been selected for inclusion in the Phillips Mill photography 
 exhibition.\n\nAdmission: $35 ($28 with member discount)
