Forest Bathing Experience

Step away from the rush of everyday life and into the quiet magic of nature.

Join us for a gentle, guided nature therapy experience—a mindful forest bathing walk through the beauty of Carlito Springs Open Space, designed to help you reconnect with the natural world, soothe your senses, and find peace in the present moment.

What to Bring

Please wear or bring comfortable layers of clothing—whatever New Mexico’s weather brings, we’ll be ready to meet it with ease. You may also want to bring water and wear or bring sunscreen and insect repellent.

What to Expect during Forest Bathing

A forest bathing walk is not a hike. It’s a slow, gentle experience that invites you to be fully present in nature.

Through simple guided exercises, you'll slow down, awaken your senses, and connect with the natural world in a grounding, restorative way.

Where to Meet

Meet at the Main House/Outdoor Classroom. There are two lower parking lots that require a walk up to the Main House. Please allow 15-20 minutes to get from the parking lot. There is a trailhead right by the lower lot. While the forest bathing is gentle and slow, it's a about a half-mile uphill hike to get to the Main House. Our walk together will be meandering down the trail, leading you back to the parking area.

Registration

Registration available on the Bernalillo County website.

This forest bathing walk a free event sponsored by the Bernalillo County Open Space program in Albuquerque.
