The Armour-Stiner Octagon House was built in 1860 as a summer home. To this day, the Spring months here in The Hudson Valley are the most delightful time of the year. Victorian Springtime at The Octagon House, a one-hour tour, includes both a guided exploration of the lush 19th-century grounds and an unforgettable interior tour of this marvelously preserved Victorian Summer Home.

In the interior portion of the tour, see many examples of how the natural world heavily influenced Victorian life and design.

Guided Shared Group Forest Bathing Session in Serene Woodland Park

Westchester County , New York

Free Cancellation

From $ 40.00

Duration: 2 hours (approx.)

Come and experience the magic of nature in the Lower Hudson Valley in a whole new way. We'll explore the forest and connect with nature through a slow-paced, easeful sensory exploration based on the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku ("forest bathing"). Q: I go hiking or walking in nature regularly already. What makes a guided forest bathing experience different? A: With a guide, you can leave all the mental effort behind and truly relax into the experience, knowing that I will be keeping track of the time, place/trail, leading you every step of the way, and facilitating a safe group experience. I will prompt you along the way with sensory-based invitations that allow you to explore the forest from a new perspective and refocus on being present and grounded in the natural environment itself. Additionally, I will facilitate group sharing opportunities where we have the chance to practice active listening and hold space for others’ experiences in an intentional, enriching way.
