A nurturing and therapeutic nature experience
The Journey to Well-Being is an intentional walking program, designed to aid participants in experiencing the calming, restorative powers of nature. The Japanese Garden serves as a peaceful setting for people to explore their relationship with nature and with themselves.
This program consists of facilitated meeting(s), including a guided tour of the Japanese Garden. The remaining weeks consist of seven self-guided walks, inspired by themes related to natural elements such as wind, stone, tranquil water, fire, wood, powerful water and sky. Participants will receive a guide book which provides suggested pauses for each walk, intended to increase awareness and encourage time for reflection. Non-members will receive seven garden admission passes, in order to complete the walks.
Participants will receive:
- Journey to Well-being guidebook
- Seven Garden admission tickets (non-members)
- Facilitated meeting(s)
The Journey to Well-being is available in two formats: Basic and Full. The Basic format consists of one meeting to introduce the program and a tour of the Japanese Garden. The Full format includes an additional two meetings designed to enhance the experience through activities and group conversation.
