The Journey to Wellbeing is an intentional walking program created by the
Therapeutic Horticulture team of the Missouri Botanical Garden through
the generosity of the Bayer Fund and in collaboration with Cancer Support
Community of Greater St. Louis.
The hope is to provide the program to survivors, from newly diagnosed to post
treatment, family members, caregivers and bereaved. The benefits of nature
experiences are well documented and have particular relevance to those
impacted by cancer. The stress of any situation can be reduced through time in
nature, active lifestyle, contemplation and taking time for oneself.
This 10-week program consists of 3 facilitated meetings, including a guided tour
of the Japanese Garden. The remaining weeks consist of self-guided walks,
inspired by themes related to natural elements such as wind, stone, tranquil water,
fire, wood, powerful water, and sky. Each participant will receive a guidebook
which provides suggested pauses for each walk, intended to increase awareness
and encourage time for reflection.
