An Introduction to Forest Bathing In the Classroom: More than a Walk in The Woods
Friday February 21, 2025 3:20pm - Saturday May 31, 2025 11:30pm MDT
Forest bathing, or Shinrin-yoku, began in Japan in the 1980s as a government initiative to help reduce stress among citizens. There was even had a name for it - Karoshi, or “death by overwork”. Since then, research has demonstrated the benefits of being in nature on physical and mental health and forest bathing (or forest therapy) has become more mainstream.

Students today are spending less and less time outdoors and forest bathing is a way to help bring them into the natural environment they so desperately need. This session will describe the practice of forest bathing and its benefits. It will also include easy-to-implement strategies for the classroom, including ways to enjoy the benefits of forest bathing when getting outdoors isn’t practical or possible. Come prepared to participate and learn about this wellness practice for yourself and your students!

The Weekend Reset: 7 Keys to Teacher Wellness
Friday February 21, 2025 3:20pm - Saturday May 31, 2025 11:30pm MDT
Do you lose sleep on Sunday nights because your to-do list is running through your head? Do you start the week feeling exhausted? This session will highlight 7 research-based practices to help you start every week feeling more calm, connected, and confident. This all may sound easier said than done since teachers often carry their work and their care for students into their personal time, but fear not! We will explore a framework that is easy to implement and includes strategies for days when you only have a small amount of time for self-care. Many of the ideas will also translate into activities you can incorporate into wellness activities for students. Don't just survive...thrive!
