Forest Bathing is a slow, quiet, guided sensory experience with nature that has proven physical and mental health benefits. Think of it as "wellness in the woods."

A Certified Forest Bathing Guide will conduct a guided meditation session and offer a series of invitations to use your curiosity and senses to connect with nature and yourself. Look, listen, smell and feel what the forest is offering you.

Optional opportunities for sharing throughout the program create a communal sense of a shared experience. Light refreshments during a closing ceremony help you feel refreshed as you continue your day.

Decades of research have shown that forest bathing can reduce stress and depression and improve immune function as well as cardiovascular and respiratory health, among other benefits.

Schedule a private forest bathing experience (minimum of 4 guests) by emailing info@goforestbathing.com

Please note that forest bathing is not a hike or an educational program. It is a chance to unwind and de-stress with nothing you need to learn or do.
