Guided Nature & Forest Bathing: A 3 hour immersive experience in nature based on the Japanese practice, "Shinrin-yoku" (forest bathing). As your guide, I will offer you a series of invitations to use your senses to discover an authentic way to connect with the land. Walks are gentle and travel through a natural space. The invitations engage all 5 senses and provide opportunities to slow down and notice. There will be periods of stillness and quiet with time for reflection. The walk concludes with a tea ceremony.
•Guided 3 hour walk: $40 per person, up to 10 people
•Guided Group Forest Bathing Experience: please contact me for options
Nature Journaling: A 4 hour immersive, instructional, and explorative experience in nature. As your guide, I assist you in discovering the art of nature journaling through hands on instruction, invitations, sharing of resources, and support. Nature Journaling is a tool for observing and more deeply connecting you to the natural world. For these immersions, I provide all the supplies for the experience. A resource list is provided at the end of the walk/workshop for you to curate your own nature journal tool kit.
