As the New Year dawns upon Northwest Arkansas, it brings with it an invitation to rejuvenate. With resolutions set and aspirations high, Mount Sequoyah Center, Inc.

in Fayetteville, AR, offers the perfect sanctuary for those looking to reconnect with nature and seek serenity. From January 10 to 12, 2025, step away from the hustle and bustle of life and immerse yourself in the tranquility of the forest with the Forest Bathing Retreat on the Mountain.

Guided by the knowledgeable Emmie Brenzel, the retreat promises an enriching experience that combines leisure and learning. Forest bathing, a practice rooted in the Japanese tradition of Shinrin-Yoku, encourages gentle meanderings among the trees, absorbing the forest atmosphere. It's not just a walk in the woods; it's a mindful exercise focused on being present and open to the restorative properties that nature generously offers.

As you breathe in the resin-scented air, the aromatherapy naturally provided by the forest can help reduce stress hormones, enhance mood, and even boost the immune system. Participants will learn to draw on these healing powers, learning how to harness this tranquility and carry it with them into their daily lives.

The picturesque Mount Sequoyah provides the ideal backdrop for this escape. With its lush landscapes and serene vistas, it is a wellspring of peace and natural beauty. Here, in this verdant hideaway, visitors can expect to engage in group sessions and solo explorations, with ample opportunity for personal reflection.

The Forest Bathing Retreat doesn't simply end with the walk; it's an encompassing experience of all senses. There will be moments dedicated to savoring the silence, woodland meditation, and even enjoying tea made from foraged plants – a charming nod to the local foliage.

So, as we embrace 2025, make a different kind of resolution. Prioritize well-being and peace. Whether you're a seasoned nature lover or a city dweller seeking a momentary reprieve from the screen light's glare, the Forest Bathing Retreat on Mount Sequoyah extends a warm, leafy hand.

Spaces for this haven are coveted, so reserve your spot post-haste. Set the stage for a year of balance and harmony. After all, there's no better time than now for a fresh start, under the watchful guidance of the stately Sequoyah trees, as they stand witness to your personal journey of rejuvenation and rediscovery.
