6 weeks of Forest Bathing

Join a small group of women for a 6-week forest bathing journey designed to lower stress, boost immunity, and help you build lasting habits for health and wellbeing.

We’ll meet every Friday from 9:30 AM to 11:45 AM for 6 weeks, ensuring you carve out a small chunk of time, every week to fill up your cup and help you stay rooted, centered and nourished.

Inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku, forest bathing invites you to slow down, engage your senses, and reconnect with nature, yourself, and your community.

“Spending at least 120 minutes a week in nature is associated with significantly greater health and wellbeing.”— White et al., Nature Scientific Reports (2019)

More details:

Forest bathing is based off the Japanese tradition known as Shinrin Yoku which translates to "forest bath". When we walk through natural environments, we are bathing in the aromas, sights, and sounds of nature and we maximize our ability to harness these benefits by walking slowly in an open, receptive state. As a guide, my goal is to facilitate this process by offering invitations largely composed of simple, sensory experiences that encourage presence, calm, curiosity, and connection. The Forest is the therapist and the guide open the doorways for participants to experience the therapeutic power found through establishing healthy relationships within our greater community.

This is not a exercise, we will be moving at a slow pace. This is not a Naturalist walk there will be no plant identification but rather strive for exploring your relationship with different beings using all senses not limited to cognition. This is not a hike, where we rush through the trail, to get to a beautiful destination and miss everything along the way. There have been many documented health benefits of practicing Forest bathing however, there are no expectations for what a person “should” experience, or what benefits they “should” receive. Instead, it is best viewed as a practice of developing and deepening our relationship to Nature over time throughout many seasons and spaces. There is no right or wrong way to do it, you just have to show up, stay open minded and listen carefully. I hope you will give it a try!
