Forest Bathing
Welcome! This practice is appropriate and necessary for people of all ages, life experiences, and mobilities!
Did you know that spending time outdoors can benefit you in physical, emotional, and spiritual ways?
What might the Earth be inviting you to today?
What is Forest Bathing Guiding?
The land, sea, sky, day, night, mountains, and rivers and all Living Beings are calling out to you! Earth calls to Earth. In the words of poet John O'Donohue, "The clay dances within you" (Beannacht).
As your guide, I provide a series of invitations welcoming you into your own experience of the More-than-Human world, yourself, your inner world, and in community with other participants.
