Tree Huggers Wanted
Saturday, May 9, 2026 • 4:00 - 5:00 PM (arrive 10 min. prior) Location: Highlawn Forest, 16 Meriden Road, Rockfall, CT Meeting Point: Covered entrance next to the paved parking area Suggested Donation: $20–$25 (see below) Please arrive 10 minutes early.
Dharma Wilding is not traditional Shinrin-yoku (forest bathing). It is deeply inspired by forest bathing and adds Buddhist teachings on compassion, impermanence, interconnectedness, and non-judgmental awareness. It is ideal for beginners and experienced nature practitioners seeking deeper calm, clarity, and a sense of belonging. No prior experience with meditation or mindfulness is needed — beginners and non-Buddhists are warmly welcome.
Guided by Rev. G.R. Lewis (BFF Guiding Teacher with over 35 years of experience), this session draws from 18 original exercises he developed — practices that will be featured in his upcoming book. You may experience short, accessible practices such as Tree Hugging Meditation, Tonglen with Nature, Mindful Walking with the Woods, Breath of the Canopy, and Forest Shikantaza.
Event Details
<ul><li>Duration: Approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes</li><li>Age: 14 and older</li><li>Accessibility: Trails are generally easy but include bumps, roots, and gentle inclines — not suitable for every mobility level. Please assess your comfort with uneven natural terrain.</li><li>Parking: Free for Connecticut-registered vehicles (standard non-resident fees may apply).</li></ul>
What to Bring:
<ul><li>Comfortable layered clothing (woods can feel cooler)</li><li>Sturdy, closed-toe walking shoes suitable for natural trails</li><li>Water and any personal snacks</li><li>Lightweight foldable chair or sitting pad if preferred for meditation</li><li>Insect repellent and sun protection as needed</li></ul>
####
Suggested Donation: A $20–$25 donation is appreciated to support BFF’s programs, donations to local preserves, and the ongoing development of Dharma Wilding. Donations are made at initial meeting point when registering, through Venmo, PayPal or in cash at the site (cash preferred: no fees).
Weather Policy: Sessions proceed in light rain — please dress accordingly. In cases of very inclement weather or trail issues, the session may be postponed. Check this event page approximately 2 hours before the start time. If no update is posted, we will go ahead as planned.
We practice Leave No Trace principles and ask all participants to respect the forest and one another.
This intimate outdoor mindfulness event offers a fresh, transformative way to nourish body, mind, and spirit.
If you will be participating, IT IS IMPORTANT for you to read the rest of the details at Dharma Wilding web page, visit:

Trilogy Health & Performance LLC

In acknowledgment of Brain Injury Awareness month, we are excited to announce the opening of our new clinic, the FIRST and ONLY Brain Restore Center in all of Connecticut. Brain Restore Centers is a nationwide initiative, lead by experts across every medical speciality to finally tackle the problem of concussion, brain injury and cognitive decline rapidly increasing across our country. While Brain Injury and Cognitive Decline is on the rise in our country, our clinic is offering Free Advanced FDA-approved RightEye Exam to all Connecticut residents in an attempt to help give people in our communities a detailed deep dive into understanding the “WHY” behind what they are experiencing. Many members of our communities silently struggle with lingering symptoms of head injuries, PTSD, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and memory loss, and we want to give back by providing hope and help through real, science-backed brain health solutions. This community is part of a nationwide initiative supported locally to raise awareness about the brain’s ability to heal through modern therapies such as neurofeedback EEG detailed functional brain scan, low-level laser therapy, Neuro-rehabilitation Exercises, and neuro-functional medicine. We have been optimizing this treatment system over the last 10 years and are so grateful to finally be able to share it with our communities and loved ones. https://brainrestorecenters.com/ 49 Randolph Rd, Middletown, Connecticut 860-365-9445 info@trilogyhnp.com
