Big Tesuque Campground, Santa Fe National Forest

About this event

Along Tesuque Creek, the sounds of moving water accompany us through mixed conifer forest, ponderosa pines, and nearby groves of aspens. We will slow our pace, awaken the senses, and spend time in relationship with the creek and the life gathered around it. Although we will cover approximately one mile with minimal incline, much of our time will be spent sitting, standing, and slowly meandering. Rooted in the Japanese tradition of *Shinrin-yoku*, Forest Bathing is less about hiking and more about arriving—in presence, in place, and in ourselves. For our morning walk, we will meet at the Campground parking lot (off Hyde Park Rd). You will want to wear footwear, headwear, and layered clothing suitable for the terrain and weather. Hiking sandals are also appropriate for this walk, as we will have access to the creek. I also suggest bringing drinking water, a pad or small blanket for occasional sitting, and perhaps a journal. A few pads and portable stools will be available on-site. You will also be asked to complete a waiver. **Thanks to our sponsors:** Artful Tea: [https://artfultea.com](https://artfultea.com) Christus Health: [https://www.christushealth.org/locations/st-vincent](https://www.christushealth.org/locations/st-vincent) Forest Bathing Santa Fe: [https://www.forestbathingsantafe.com/](https://www.forestbathingsantafe.com/) Robin Creations: [https://www.byrobincreations.com/](https://www.byrobincreations.com/) tea.o.graphy: [https://tea-o-graphy.com](https://tea-o-graphy.com) **Pamela Fuhrmann, Santa Fe** Pamela is a certified ANFT Nature and Forest Therapy guide.
