Bring Forest Bathing Experience to Your Back Yard
Join me for a deep journey into our senses aided by the more-than-human world. We'll give our thinking minds a break as we experience a perhaps familiar place in a completely new—yet ancient—way. Participate from your backyard, a balcony, a park, or a favorite trail; all it needs is reliable Wi-Fi or cell reception.
I will craft a series of invitations that amplify nature's innate power to restore our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Connect with the blossoming yang energy of summer and the supportive energy of your fellow participants. Delight in summer's sounds, sights, colors, and textures.
The event is inspired by the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, which encourages our bodies and minds to slow down, disconnect from the stressors of our modern lives, and deepen our relationship with the natural world. In doing so, we open the door to nature's healing properties.
I am a Forest Therapy Guide certified by the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy. Guides are not therapists, and these walks are not intended as therapy; however, the practice itself can be considered therapeutic.
