Question 1

Is this like a hike?

Accepted Answer

Nature connection experiences are not hikes. They are at an intentionally gentle pace and there are plenty of opportunities to stop, sit and soak in your surroundings.

Question 2

Can I bring my kiddo or doggo?

Accepted Answer

For public nature connection events, I strive to maintain a relaxing atmosphere for all, so I ask that you please leave kiddos or doggos at home. Consider this an opportunity for a well-deserved break. Dogs can also run through poison oak or pick up ticks in the brush, which can transfer to others.

Question 3

Does "forest bathing" involve actual bathing?

Accepted Answer

I had the same question at first too! Forest bathing just means being immersed in nature. Sort of like how you’re soaking up the sun’s rays when you’re sunbathing. While you may be invited to touch the water in a creek or dip your toes in the sea, there’s no bathing.

Question 4

Is it safe? What do I need to bring?

Accepted Answer

In advance of any experience, I’ll inform you of anything you need to bring or be aware of based on the location. In case of accidents, I carry a first aid kit and am certified in Wilderness First Aid and CPR. If you have specific concerns or health issues, I invite you to reach out.
