You are nature. Remember.

Forest therapy is inspired from the Japanese practice of Shinrin Yoku, literally meaning “forest bathing.” As guides, we create safe experiences called “invitations” for you to reconnect beyond the chaos of the human world.

Often as we walk or hike outdoors, we are still not tuned in to all that surrounds us. Forest therapy allows you to experience “invitations” that we are trained to offer spontaneously based on what the forest offers us in any moment. These allow your senses to remember and reconnect. Everyone will receive something from the forest that’s unique to their needs.

You’ll be guided by Bala and Brandon, who have been certified to offer these practices in safe and meaningful ways by the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy Guides. They work in partnership with the forest. Based on what is happening spontaneously in that moment (sound, water, light, smells, views, etc.) they’ll offer the invitations best suited to experience everything sensorily.
