Due to the nasty weather we're having today, we are cancelling the Forest Bathing Meditation event scheduled for this afternoon at Crosby Sanctuary.

Join Duval Audubon Society for a socially distanced Forest Bathing Meditation on the Swamp Trail at our beautiful Crosby Sanctuary conservation property in Orange Park, Florida.

Please bring your own seating for the meditation, such as a folding chair or mat.

Areas will be designated on the swamp-facing trail for silent solitary meditation six to ten feet from other participants.

Please note: only the Swamp Trail will be open, as the rest of the sanctuary will be closed to visitors. This event is an opportunity for silent meditation only.

Free for current Audubon members, $5 suggested donation at the gate for non-members. You must register on our Meetup site to participate.

2p Check-in
2:15p Guided Standing Stretches
2:30-3:30p Forest Bathing Meditation (alone & in silence)
3:30-4p Guided Standing Stretches & Exit
