SUMMARY:Qigong/Dao Yin Class: Mindful Movement Series
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the gentle movements of Dao Yin and Qigong amidst the serene beauty of Woodlands Garden. These ancient practices are designed to reduce stress and connect with nature\, offering a peaceful way to nurture both mind and body. This class is part of the Mindful Movement Spring Wellness Series at Woodland Gardens. \nOver the course of 8 weeks\, we will gather in the screened-in Pavilion at Woodlands Garden\, where we’ll practice Qigong and Dao Yin. These practices emphasize intentional breathing\, balance\, and gentle movements—both standing and on the ground—to help cultivate flexibility and harmony. As foundational practices for Tai Chi\, they offer an excellent introduction to this transformative discipline. Weather permitting\, we’ll also enjoy walking the grounds using forest bathing techniques\, guided by Neil’s deep knowledge of trees. \nThe fee for the session is $30 for Coop members and Woodlands’ Volunteers and Donors\, otherwise a $60 donation from the curious public is requested. Proceeds will be evenly donated to Woodlands Garden and the Tai Chi 4 LIFE Coop. Woodlands Garden is dedicated to preserving a woodland sanctuary that educates and inspires the community to connect with the natural world. The Tai Chi 4 LIFE Coop is a self-care cooperative that brings together teachers and students to offer practical methods for reducing stress through Tai Chi\, Qigong\, and other healing arts\, enhancing overall health and well-being. Register using this link. \nNeil\, a skilled instructor in Tai Chi\, Wild Goose Qigong\, Tree Gong\, Four Season Qigong\, Five Element Medical Qigong\, and Dao Yin\, has taught Qigong at the Decatur Recreation Center and is a founding member of the Tai Chi 4 LIFE Coop. In addition to his teaching\, Neil works as a consulting arborist\, combining his love for nature with his expertise in mind-body wellness.

SUMMARY:Forest Bathing Walk
DESCRIPTION:Register now for this gentle\, 2-hour Forest Bathing walk for ages 14 and up. Jess Boyd\, an ANFT-certified guide\, offers participants an opportunity to engage more deeply with nature and connect with others\, while unplugging from the fast pace of modern life. Forest bathing\, or shinrin-yoku\, was developed in Japan during the 1980s for preventative care. “Bathing” refers to the idea of absorbing your natural surroundings using all of the senses\, rather than anything to do with water. The practice is said to enhance well-being\, reduce stress and restore calm. \nNOTE: Minimum of 6 participants for this walk; registration required. \nThe walk fee is on a sliding scale from $15-30. Visit this link to register. \n
