Forest Bathing: An Invitation to Remember Your Place in the Living World.

Join us for a slow, sensory immersion in nature designed to support calm, connection, and presence.

This guided Forest Bathing walk offers an opportunity to step out of urgency and into a relationship — with the land, with your senses, and with yourself.

Forest Bathing is a research-based, meditative practice inspired by the Japanese tradition of Shinrin-Yoku. As a therapeutic modality, it helps bring us back to homoeostasis in partnership with nature, towards our body’s optimal wellness.

This is not a hike. It is not a naturalist walk. There is no goal to achieve.

Instead, the experience unfolds through a sequence of gentle, guided invitations that encourage you to engage the natural world through all of your senses.

Benefits of Forest Bathing

Participants commonly experience: Reduced stress and anxiety, a sense of grounding and calm, improved mood and focus, and feelings of joy, connection, and ease.

But most simply, people leave feeling at peace more connected to nature less overwhelmed.

I was skeptical. Forest Bathing, I thought…what will they think of next. But wanting to support my friend, I signed up.  And then, to my surprise, under Deborah’s quiet guidance I felt myself becoming part of the forest. And as the natural world came gently to me, I embraced it. This is a beautiful,  calming and grounding experience.
