International Day of People with Disability: Accessible Forest Bathing

Enjoy a guided nature experience with Bronwyn Paynter from Nature OT to celebrate International Day of People with Disability and the Onkaparinga River National and Recreation Parks as NPWS Park of the Month.

Forest Bathing (no swimming involved!) is a chance to ‘bathe’ or immerse yourself in the natural environment. It is an opportunity to awaken and engage your 5 senses – listening, touching, smelling, tasting and seeing as we allow ourselves to just ‘be’ in nature.

As you wander slowly, take time to stop, smell, touch and notice nature. The experience involves guided ‘invitations’ to help notice the nature, calm your busy minds, perhaps be playful and have some fun.

Disconnect from technology and release yourself from having to keep track of time as your guide lead you through nature. If that sounds interesting and you’re curious we’d love for you to join us in beautiful Onkaparinga River Recreation Park. The experience is tailored to the needs of the group.
