SUMMARY:Forest Bathing
DESCRIPTION:Join us on this journey to unplug\, slow down and reconnect with yourself and the natural world around you. Forest Bathing (also known as the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku) invites you to explore the natural world using your five senses. This is not a hike or naturalist walk; it’s a meditative\, guided wander in nature. And there’s a growing body of scientific knowledge that demonstrates the benefits of spending time in nature like this\, as a wellness practice and as an effective way to manage stress. \nBenefits include: \n\nBoosting your immune system through inhaling phytoncides\, essential oils emitted by trees\, plus other beneficial microscopic particles that are stirred up as you walk\nReducing blood pressure\, respiration and heart rate\nReducing stress\, improving mood\, increasing energy and improving sleep\nIncreased capacity for empathy and kindness for self and others\nIncreased ability to think strategically (“Executive Thinking”)\n· Increased ability to think more creatively (“Original Thoughts”)\n\nRegister Here \nGuide\, Angie Stegall is an ANFT Certified Forest Therapy Guide\, Certified Martha Beck Wayfinder Life Coach and a Certified Sparketype ™ Advisor. She’s an Executive LIFE Coach who works with Founders\, business owners and other executive-level leaders. Angie is also the author of five books\, including “Notes from Nature” and “Make Some Room.” \nParticipants are encouraged to wear comfortable clothes and shoes for walking on uneven surfaces along dirt or gravel covered trails and for sitting down on grass\, pine needles\, or bare dirt. Bring a hat\, sunglasses\, layers or rain gear. Please check the weather as we forest bathe in sun\, rain\, wind or snow. Sunscreen and/or bug spray might be appropriate\, too. Bring your own water and snacks if needed and a small backpack to carry these personal items. Your guide will have small sit pads available for you to use or you can bring your own yoga mat\, towel or blanket. \nForest Bathing Testimonials: \n“I’m sleeping better. Prior to the Forest Bathing experience\, I had not been sleeping well. Since the experience\, I have had some of the best sleep that I can remember.” \n“The time our guide Angie took to center us before we went into the forest. I loved the outward facing circle exercise. It helped me clear my mind and practice listening and looking before we began “bathing”. Also\, she answered my questions before I asked: about pace\, distance between participants\, and no talking throughout.” \n“I was energized and thrilled to have such an atypical morning. This fueled me for the remainder of the day\, and helped me fall asleep quickly\, and a bit earlier than usual.” \nProgram Details: \n\nCost:\n\n$65 for Garden Members\n$80 for non-Garden Members\n\n\n\nLocation: The Trailhead Store

SUMMARY:Butterfly Release Experience
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, June 24 | 11:30 a.m. | The Gardens at Stowe | Ages 12+  | $5 (General Garden Admission or Membership required) \nPart of our Pollinator Week Programming  \nBecome part of the magic as you help welcome our newest butterflies to the Butterfly Bungalow. \nDuring this behind-the-scenes experience\, participants will take part in releasing butterflies into the exhibit. Seated among hundreds of free-flying butterflies\, you’ll carefully open the protective envelopes and watch as each butterfly begins its first moments in its new home. Some immediately take flight\, while others take a little longer to stretch their wings and wake up\, making every release unique. \nTo provide the best possible experience for both guests and the new butterflies\, the Butterfly Bungalow will be closed to the public during this small-group event. The release itself typically lasts about 15–20 minutes\, but we’ve reserved up to 30 minutes to allow plenty of time to enjoy the moment. \nParticipants should arrive at the Butterfly Bungalow 10–15 minutes before the start time so we can begin promptly and maximize time inside the exhibit. \nImportant Notes \n\nAges 12 and up only\nParticipants under 16 must be accompanied by an adult guardian\nGloves are required and provided (latex free)\nGuests will remain seated during the experience to help ensure the safety of the butterflies\n\n*Because this experience depends on the arrival of our weekly butterfly shipment\, occasional delays or cancellations are possible. While we schedule the release with a built-in buffer to accommodate most delivery delays\, butterfly arrivals are ultimately outside of our control. \nTickets may be purchased online or at our Front Desk while quantities last. \nThis special opportunity offers a rare glimpse into a part of butterfly care that most guests never get to see—and the chance to be among the first to welcome our newest winged residents. \nRegister Here
