Pathways Arboretum — Attraction in Chicago Heights

A very beautiful arboretum, featuring several colorful floral arranged flowers, shrubs, and greenery in a naturalized setting.

The retreat also included a tea ceremony, cleansing ritual, and forest bathe meditation. The retreat was a perfect way to relieve stress and enjoy a day of self care surrounded by God's beauty. This was my first time here and definitely will not...
