Forest bathing is a research-based framework for supporting healing and wellness through immersion in forests and other natural environments. In Japan it is called "shinrin yoku," which translates to "forest bathing." Studies have demonstrated a wide array of health benefits, especially in the cardiovascular and immune systems, and for stabilizing and improving mood and cognition.

In a forest bathing session we slow down and, through an evolving series of sensory-focused invitations, mindfully interact with the world around us. The guide holds space for each person to arrive at a relationship with the Earth in their unique way while occasionally offering opportunities to witness our shared connection to nature.
