About it

**\*\* NOTE: Pre-registration is required at the link below. \*\*** Enjoy a forest bathing wellness experience among the trees and wildlife along the Snail Trail and Henderson Creek at the Rookery Bay Environmental Learning Center in Naples.

The mindfulness practice has physical and mental health benefits such as reducing stress and anxiety and helping with cardiovascular and respiratory health. Your ticket includes same-day admission to the two-story nature center that has aquariums, touch tank, exhibits, butterfly garden, picnic areas, art gallery, and gift shop. This program is for ages 18+. Plenty of free parking. Restrooms available. **\*\* Pre-registration is required [here](https://fareharbor.com/embeds/book/rookerybay/items/437050/availability/2139320721/book/?ref=robin&full-items=yes&flow=832598) for this month’s program. \*\*** Forest bathing is offered at Rookery Bay Reserve on the 1st Saturday of the month from November 2026 through May 2027.
