We can do it!
We all know the power and presence of the forest. Innately we understand what science now tells us: we are transformed by time in & with nature. As we walk over soft decomposing leaves & under the canopy of the forest, we come to life. Let's give the gift of life back.

Deep Healing
Forest bathing heals us from the depths of our being.
Walking in the forest heals us, increasing our immunity, cognitive capacity and happiness while decreasing our stress, depression and confusion. So we walk, sit and rest.
Deep Breathing
Breathing with the trees we breathe deep.
Bathing in the energy of the forest we exchange carbon and oxygen, drinking deep in exchange with our forest friends. Breathing is as important as walking in forest bathing.
Deep Listening
Amidst the trees we listen deeply to the forest song.
Forests are still but trilling with life. You just have to slow down and be in relationship with the life around you-- Whether it is an ancient cedar tree or a small salamander..
Deep Seeing
We look into the depths and see the invisible in the forest.
