The Creek Bottom Trail from Bear Creek Nature Center in Colorado Springs.
The end of the year is a nice time to reflect on the past and upcoming months. One way to do that is with forest bathing — a slow, mindful stroll through the quiet woods, along with a tea ceremony. Certified nature guide Summer Lajoie will accompany walkers from 1 to 3:30 p.m. Dec. 9 around Bear Creek Nature Center, 245 Bear Creek Road. The cost is $20-$30 and prepaid registration is required; 719-520-6388, listeningpines.com. — Jennifer Mulson, The Gazette
