Please join us for our first "Peace in the Prairie" walk with Certified Forest Therapy Guide, Michelle Marella. We are excited to bring Michelle's expertise and passion for Forest Therapy to the Roscoe community and offer a new experience utilizing our very own prairie. During this walk participants will learn about forest bathing, a slow, mindful, and low-impact activity that reduces stress hormones and encourages wellness through nature.
"Peace in the Prairie" will encourage participants to foster a relationship with nature, slow down, relax, and rejuvenate their mind, body and spirit. And what better way to celebrate Earth Day than connecting with nature during this beautiful, immersive walk in the prairie trails here at Cross Park!
Participants will meet Michelle at the Roscoe Township Community Center parking lot at 4562 Hononegah Rd., Roscoe, IL to begin the guided prairie walk at 4:00 pm. Snacks, water, and chairs will be provided during this walk. The prairie walk will conclude at our Cross Park Pavilion where participants will share a ceremonial tea, reflect and connect with the group on their experience, and participate in the "creative curative" craft: a propagation jar made out of repurposed materials. All materials for creative curative will be provided.
The Cross Park prairie is open for the public to enjoy, but if you would like to participate in this special, guided experience, please purchase your ticket here: Earth Day Celebration Prairie Walk
