What You may Expect

Join us for a full day of enjoying and immersing yourself in part of the 716 acres of Just Love Forest. We work spontaneously in partnership with the forest for each unique journey. There is no right or wrong way to do forest bathing. We are trained to offer “invitations” as instructions to go and experience the forest in unique ways. After 15 minutes or so, we gather to share what we are noticing. Here are examples of what you could experience during your forest experience:

  • 10:30am: Arrive at meeting point

  • 11:00am: Introductions, overview of forest therapy and history of the land
