Why A Forest Therapy Guide?

A Deeper Experience

There are benefits to having a certified guide along on the journey. Guides craft forest therapy walks with a structured sequence of activities and invitations so you can experience a deep connection with nature.

That connection flips a switch in our bodies and opens the door to many benefits, both physical and mental.

You Can Let Go

We provide clear and defined sequence of invitations that allow you to slow down, relax, be present, and focus on awakening your senses in a safe and welcoming space. This takes the pressure off of wondering what to do next. Our invitations are just that – a suggestion to do something. You aren’t required to do them or perform them a certain way. There is no grading or a test at the end!

We Help You Slow Down

We set the pace of the walk so you don’t have to. Today, we’ve become so accustomed to a very fast-paced environment. We’re constantly multi-tasking and easily distracted – so many things demand our attention every second. Our walks are intentionally slow and don’t cover a great distance. We help you transition from the fast-paced world into a slower, timeless, liminal space.

We Hold Space

There’s a saying in our line of work: “The Forest is the Therapist; the Guide merely opens the door.”
We help you find that “door”, and hold space for you so you can establish a connection and develop a relationship with the More Than Human World. Our role is not prescriptive but rather to assist you in opportunities for creativity and serendipity.

Safety

We scout areas and trails that offer the best forest bathing experience and safety and alert you to any awarenesses in the area to keep in mind.

While we can’t promise every area is free of hazards, we do our best to alert you before the walk.

You won’t get lost with us.

Incredible Community

You’re joining a pretty cool club.

Even though we all walk different paths in life, coming from various backgrounds, we all become forest friends when forest bathing.

While we may be strangers, the forest has our backs, allowing us to be vulnerable and relax in a safe space.
