Spirituality is not just confined to the pews in church: take it outside! Take residents on a nature walk with a focus on mindfulness and reflection. Forest bathing has become popular for a reason: people are looking for new ways to experience their faith and what greater gift than exploring the beauty in nature?

• Connect with nature to enhance spiritual well-being.
• Provide opportunities for reflection and contemplation.

• Planning: Select a safe and accessible outdoor location.
• Guided Walk: Lead residents on a slow-paced walk, highlighting nature's beauty.
• Reflection Points: Choose specific spots to pause for moments of reflection.
• Discussion: Encourage residents to share their thoughts or experiences.
