Celebrate Tu B’Shevat in Nature

February 6, 2023 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Free

Join the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy and the 10.27 Healing Partnership on a meditative and gentle forest bathing journey through Frick Park. Meet at the Frick Environmental Center, ncounter nature and form warm connections from 1pm-3pm, February 6th, and end with a Tu B’Shevat seder and tea ceremony.

What is Tu B’Shevat?

Tu B’Shevat is the Jewish New Year for fruit trees. It is a day to celebrate the new fruits of the season and to remember our connection to the earth and to nature. All are welcome and invited to participate in this event.

What is forest bathing?  

Join certified guides for forest bathing on gentle walks in the parks while nurturing our connection to the natural world. Each session includes invitations to be present, craft your own experience, and share what you notice with other participants. Forest bathing is a guided exploration that centers on slowing down, unplugging, and awakening our senses while resting outside immersed in nature. Research has shown that taking time away from technology and our busy modern lives and immersing ourselves deeply in nature has positive effects on mental, emotional, and physical health. If you feel disconnected from nature, yourself, or others, consider joining a forest bathing session.
