Join outdoor specialist and interpreter, Stephanie, at the Kellogg Environmental Center in Derby, CT to begin your new year with an “Outdoor Forest Wander and Take in a Breath of Fresh Air” event from 1:00 to 3:00 pm. Participants will enjoy an afternoon of experiential encounters with the outdoors to relax your mind, breathe and connect with the world around you.  This Japanese practice is known in Japan as 'shinrin yoku' and involves the senses to help everyone increase personal well-being.   This event is for participants ages 15 and older.  The wander will be over uneven ground, but we will move at a slow pace. All participants should dress for the weather and wear sturdy shoes for the outdoors.  This First Day "wander" is limited to a small group and registration is required.  Please call 203-734-2513 to register by December 30th to allow us preparation of materials and provide verbal confirmation with participants.  Kellogg Environmental Center is part of Osbornedale State Park located at 500 Hawthorne Ave in Derby, CT.
