About the Event

Immerse yourself in a hauntingly serene experience this Halloween at our mystical forest bathing event in the enchanting Oakland Cemetery.

Under the luminescent glow of a full moon, enjoy opening all your senses amidst the ethereal beauty of autumnal foliage and whispered tales of the departed.

Forest therapy is a guided immersion in natural environments that promotes the well-being of people and the land. Research shows these numerous therapeutic benefits:

  • Reduces stress, anxiety, depression, anger and pain.
  • Improves cognitive functioning, sleep, mood and creativity
  • Boosts the immune system, regulates blood pressure, improves relationships and increases feelings of gratitude.

Unwind, rejuvenate, and connect with nature's spirits as you embark on a transformative journey through the delicate balance between life and death.

THINGS TO BRING

If it is chilly, dress extra warm and bring a blanket. If it is wet or rainy, wear clothing to keep you warm and dry.

  • Water bottle
  • Good shoes for being outdoors
  • Insect repellent 
  • Anything else that might help you feel comfortable being outdoors
