Shinrin-yoku can lower cortisol levels, boost the immune system, and enhance mental clarity. During this course, participants will be invited to connect with all of their senses, the forest & surroundings, and the more than human world. This guided outdoor healing practice is unlike a guided nature walk or hike, forest therapy deliberately sets a slow pace and invites people to experience the pleasures of nature through all of their senses. Each walk ends with an offering of light refreshments including snacks and a tea service (wild foraged when possible). This course includes both a classroom lecture about forest therapy and an outdoor walk in Baker Park. Note: This course will meet on campus and on location in an in-person environment.

Schwarz 1 session, 1.5 hours There is a heroic story to tell which depicts men of the U.S. Navy during WWII in the Asia West Pacific. It is a story of one particular U.S. warship, the USS Houston CA-30, a story of POW’s suffering horrendous hardship for 3.5 years used as slave laborers, and a story about our countries ‘Greatest Generation’. The saga of the WWII U.S. Navy heavy cruiser USS Houston CA-30 is one which epitomizes naval bravery in the most challenging of circumstances in service to our great nation. The story includes those who were transported to Burma to be used as slave labor assisting in the construction of the ‘Burma-Thailand Death Railway’. This entire saga was brilliantly described by the late James Hornfischer in his book, ‘Ship of Ghosts’ and somewhat depicted in the epic 1957 war movie, ‘Bridge on the River Kwai’. As seen through the experience of CA-30 shipmate/survivor Otto C. Schwarz, this story will be told through the words of John Keith Schwarz. Following this special presentation, students will have the opportunity to engage in a Q&A session. Note: This course will meet on campus in an in-person environment.
