Forest Bathing Benefits

There are many benefits to slowing down and connecting with your surroundings.
  • Improved immune function, reduced stress and improved mood are reported in research studies. 
  • ​A sense of relaxation and safety is created.
  • You are calm and open to new experiences.
  • A personal connection with nature is supported.
  • There is an experience of interdependence and connection with your surroundings and with others.
  • Curiosity, creativity and questions arise naturally.
  • You can participate and enjoy whatever your ability level.
  • A sense of peace and well-being are common results.​

What to Expect

​In a forest bathing session, you will attune to your surroundings with all of your senses, breathe deeply and connect with the earth.  You will have a chance to see things anew and offer gratitude from the heart.  Connection with yourself, with nature, and with others is invited. You may find a loving presence that will follow you into all parts of your life. 
​Simple, yet profound.

These are gently guided walks where all is by invitation. You will walk slowly with chances to pause and sit. Typically we walk 1/4- 1 mile over a 3 hour period. Easeful quiet is invited.

What to bring:
  • Water bottle
  • Dress for the weather. Layers are always a good idea as we will walk slowly, sit and spend most of the time outside.
  • Wear comfortable shoes, preferably a pair that you don’t mind getting muddy.
  • Insect repellent, sunscreen as needed
  • Journal if you have one (or paper provided as needed)
