CANCER SERVICES OF NORTHEAST INDIANA ♦ AUGUST 2018 ♦ VOL 75 ♦ ISSUE 3

Forest Therapy, also known as the Japanese practice Shirin-Yoku, or forest bathing, is not just a walk through the woods.

Christina Thomson, a certified forest therapy guide and owner of IndianaNature and Forest Therapy, said the most apparent benefit surpasses thephysical. It has the ability to relieve stress and fortify your mental well-being.Through the process, Thomson says many participants begin to feel closerto the earth.

“This can be as simple as feeling the mud between your toes, touchingthe water and feeling it push up against your hands. Touching the leavesand bark of the trees, listening to the forest trees sway in the breeze. Theoptions are endless and each walk will be different, even if it is in the samelocation,” Thomson said.

Thomson leads forest therapy walks forCancer Services of Northeast Indiana. Thereare two upcoming forest therapy walksscheduled for Friday, September 14 andSaturday, October 20. The walks are a verylow impact activity that focuses on healingand wellness in natural environments. Thewalks work best with small groups soreservations are required to participate.

Thomson is certified through the Association of Nature and ForestTherapy Guides and Programs, located in Santa Rosa, California. She iscurrently the only certified forest therapy guide in Indiana.

The walks begin with an introduction of the practice, followed by agrounding invitation to “get us into our senses,” Thomson said. The groupthen spends their time quietly walking and focusing on their surroundings.Thomson includes an interactive element during each walk using thefeatures of the space. The program always concludes with a tea ceremonyand time to chat between participants.

“Being in nature is a stimulator of the immune response of the body.This is such a great benefit to those with a chronic disease. The stressresponse is also lessened which allows the body to focus on regaininghealth and not managing stress,” Thomson said.

Participants Kathleen Byerley and Andrijana Sekara have felt what theydescribe as “oneness with nature” during the walks. Participating in two of the forest therapy walks, Byerley said that connectingwith nature took precedence over the physicality of the walk.

“It’s quiet and you are invited to use your senses and really focus. Theoneness in spirit and the oneness with other people comes out,” Byerley said.

After her first walk at Metea County Park, Sekara was so overcome bythe experience, she went home to write about the trails, flower fields andthe tiniest hummingbird she had ever seen.

“When I came out (of the walk), I was calmer because of the woods, butI felt flooded with love,” Sekara said. “I came in with love, and left withmore love, like it was doubled or magnified.”

“It’s quiet and you are invited to use your senses and really focus... ”

In 2003, Cancer Services’ CEODianne May asked Linda Bewley tohelp with the front desk at CancerServices. It was supposed to be atemporary assignment of a fewweeks.

Linda did not take into accounthow her passion would grow forthe work. Somehow, in betweenlife’s strange turns, her temporarystint extended into more than adecade of outstanding dedication.

In September, we will say farewellto Linda Bewley. She is retiring asOutreach Coordinator after 15 yearsof service to Cancer Services.

As Linda likes to put it, shecould strike up a conversationwith a tree if she needed to.

Her ability to connect to so manypeople across the 11 counties inNortheast Indiana has helped spreadawareness about Cancer Services.

But it isn’t just outreach —Linda brought heart to her work.She was the one ensuring memorialbricks were placed in the right spot.She was the one to make sure arose from Cancer Services wasdelivered to funeral services. In allof her actions, Linda set an examplefor how to keep the focus on thepeople we serve.

President and CEO Dianne Maysaid, “Linda has a passion formaking sure that people withcancer know there is a communityresource ready to help. She’s soughtevery opportunity to spread the wordand connect people who need helpand people who want to help. Wecan’t thank her enough for hercommitment to the mission.”

Happy retirement, Linda! Youhave served your community welland you will be missed.
