  • Spring Awakening: Forest Bathing for Wellness

    Hildacy Preserve 1031 Palmers Mill Road, Media, Pennsylvania

    As winter loosens its quiet hold, the forest begins awakening. Step into this tender moment of early spring during this slow, sensory-rich walk through the woods. Instructor Stacey Vinci’s gentle, heart-centered approach aims to soothe the nervous system, rekindle the spirit, and restore balance in a time when many of us move too quickly to notice the beauty at our feet.  All walks are invitational and trauma-informed, offering space for whatever you bring and however you arrive. We’ll close our time together sharing a calming tea tasting and light snacks—an unhurried moment to savor the simple gifts of the season.  About the instructor: Stacey
