New Travel Option: Healing with Nature? Hug a Redwood?

July 26, 2017: Looking for a new day trip option — how about fine tuning your immune system in the forest? A fitness outing — some refer to this as, “forest bathing” or “forest immersion” — offers an opportunity to absorb nature and revitalize key senses. Guides join you in a trek through a redwood forest and help participants touch, feel, sense, listen and relax anxiety — all directed at improving individual well being. Some nature immersion programs even encourage guests to “hug a redwood tree.” No running or cell phones please!
