In honour of Blue Monday, known as the “most depressing day of the year,” we focus on mental health and wellness with a restorative guided forest therapy experience. Also known as shinrin yoku in Japan, meaning “forest bathing,” this practice invites you to calm your nervous system, feel grounded and reconnect with nature.

We’re honoured to welcome forest therapy guide, Reiki practitioner, coach, bestselling author and former professional communicator Monique Giroux (she/her) to lead this session for independent communicators and consultants.

During this session, we will:

• Experience a taste of the healing practice of forest therapy,

• Learn simple, practical activities to enhance our personal well-being toolkit, and

• Deepen our connection with nature and the more-than-human world.

Mindfulness in nature offers countless benefits for body, mind and soul. Research shows that forest bathing can reduce stress, improve focus, strengthen the immune system and boost mood.

Take a step toward a calmer, more connected self. Let nature nurture you.

This event is presented by IABC/Toronto’s Professional Independent Communicators in partnership with IABC Consultants Shared Interest Group.

Fees:

• Free: IABC members (any chapter)
