Forest Bathing in the Presidio
Immerse yourself in the serene forested areas of the Presidio and experience how spending time in nature can enhance your health, wellness, and happiness.
What is Forest Bathing? Forest Therapy, also known as “Shinrin-Yoku,” is the practice of immersing oneself in forest environments to boost overall well-being. This therapeutic practice focuses on the healing benefits of simply being present and breathing in the natural world.
