Overview

Forest Bathing is the simple practice of walking slowly through the forest, connecting with the environment with all senses rather than rushing to a destination. Enjoy the magic along the way! I invite you to breathe deep and pause long enough to notice the gentle breeze on your skin, the sounds of the forest, and your busy mind relaxing its pace. Studies show that time in nature offers physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits that linger even after you've left the trail behind. A guided forest therapy walk is a unique avenue to unlocking these benefits. Hope to see you on the trail soon!

What's included

  • Your walk culminates with a tea ceremony featuring a wild crafted infusion.

Itinerary

The practice of nature and forest therapy emphasizes the physical and mental health benefits of spending time in a forest or natural environment. The forest is the therapist. Your certified forest therapy guide opens the door. ​Together, we’ll restore our relationship with ourselves and the land with a slow, gentle walk (2 - 3 hours), enhancing our health, wellness, happiness and creativity. Your guide will offer invitations along the way that will encourage you to slow down and notice both your inner landscapes and the world around you in a mindful way. In the midst of our busy lives, slowing down and recharging is more important than ever. After each invitation, the group will come back together to share what each participant has noticed. This can be a lovely bonding experience and allows the walk to be both wonderfully personal while also building community. End your walk with a tea ceremony featuring a wild crafted infusion and snacks. Upon departure, we’ll have an enhanced appreciation for the natural world and a practice we can apply in our daily lives. It's amazing what nature reveals when we give ourselves permission to slow down, quiet our minds and awaken our senses.
