What to Expect

  • Every nature connection experience has a similar flow, but is tailored based on the group, the setting, and the season. After a short introduction, I offer invitations to connect with nature using your senses. Invitations vary from mindful to playful, allowing you to focus on the present and connect with nature in a way that feels authentic. Participants are invited to share what they are noticing with the group. The experience ends with tea, snacks and community conversation.

  • In advance of any experience, I’ll inform you of anything you need to bring or be aware of based on the location. In case any accidents happen, I carry a first aid kit and am certified in Wilderness First Aid and CPR. My training prepared me to anticipate and handle many situations. If you have any specific concerns or health issues, I invite you to reach out before or during the experience.

  • I had the same question at first too! Forest bathing just means being immersed in nature. Sort of like how you’re soaking up the sun’s rays when you’re sunbathing. While you may be invited to touch the water in a creek or dip your toes in the sea, there’s no bathing.
