“AN OASIS OF TRANQUILITY: YUME JAPANESE GARDENS REOPENS FOR THE FALL SEASON TUCSON, ARIZONA – After our summer hiatus, Yume Japanese Gardens and Museum of Tucson is reopening on Friday, October 1, for a refreshing refuge for Tucsonans seeking harmony, hope and healing in cooler temperatures. The serene gardens at Yume delight the eye, nurture the spirit, and restore hearts frayed by day-to-day distress. They interpret and compress the natural world into beautiful and masterfully cultivated landscapes that heighten a visitor’s awareness of life’s deeper qualities and impart the feeling of walking through a tranquil vision. Safe, calm, and inspiring, Yume’s gardens are back for a much-needed sanctuary. Also this season, Yume will resume its innovative ‘Path to Emotional Healing Program’, based on numerous health studies showing that journaling and regular therapeutic walks in Japanese garden settings lower stress and anxiety and boost hope and emotional resilience. Facilitated by health professionals in Yume’s secure and tranquil environment, the program teaches enrollees to reflect on and interpret their personal stories in a transformative way that leads them from simply surviving life to thriving in it. The program runs all year. “
