October 14, 2021 @ 5:30 PM CT – Forest Bathing: An Outdoor Experience of Biophilic Design hosted by WID
Biophilic design addresses our human response to our natural surroundings and explains that we thrive in surroundings that nurture us. In this session, led by Nicole Craanen, we will step away from the architectural application of biophilic design, and we will instead step slowly through nature. Forest Bathing is an approach that asks us to imagine we are seeing the world for the first time. We will spend this time slowly meandering through a natural area, immersed and aware of our senses and our surroundings
