Nature mediative based activity
Edward_D, Aug 2025
It was a nature and meditation-baaed activity in the arboretum in Asheville, NC. It allowed me to get better in touch with my inner self and find some rest and rejuvenation in nature.

These are the true goals with forest bathing, and you achieved them! Thank you for your kind words and for hanging with us at Asheville Wellness Tours. We hope you think of us next you're in Asheville! Maybe we can add a sound bath or Yoga experience next! - Asheville Wellness Tours Team X
