Forest Therapy Walk

Sliding Scale Donation- $20-$45
Please join Wild Wellness Guide for a Forest Bathing Experience as we meander and delight in The Earth, Spring and connect with one another and our own inner nature. We'll ground ourselves through our senses and connect with The More Than Human World through a series of sensory "Invitations." We'll slow down and leave our stressors behind as we step away from our normal sense of time and orientation towards "doing" into an embodied way of "being." We'll connect in a new way with the land, ourselves and others as we unplug, rest and renew. We complete our experience with a forest tea ritual.
Over the past two years, between Covid, devastating wildfires, and great tumult around the world, we have all been greatly challenged, with minimal relief from the physical, emotional and mental health effects of long-term stress. During this facilitated experience, we'll slow-down and deeply rest as we bathe in the essence of the forest and connect in a new way with The Earth.

Registration and Arrival Time: Preparation for a Public Forest Therapy walk begins a minimum of 2 days prior to the event. Trails are assessed and Tea Ceremony supplies are acquired based on number of registered participants. Therefore, it is the policy of Wild Wellness Guide that all participants pre-register at least 24 hours before the scheduled event, either through an Eventbrite link or through a PayPal Link I will send you to hold your space. Arrival Time: This experience is sequential and builds on itself from the very beginning. Participants should arrive 15 minutes before scheduled start time as we begin promptly on schedule. Once our circle has formed and the experience begins, our "container" is sealed. If you cannot arrive to begin on time with the group, we can reschedule you for another date.
Covid 19 Precautions: Wild Wellness Guide follows Covid Precautions to allow for a safe experience for all. Currently group size is limited to a total of 10, including your guide. Covid-safe masks are required for times during our experience where we gather together with social distancing. Masks are optional when we spread out during out experience. Once registered, you will be sent an information form to fill out.
What to bring and how to prepare? – A Covid-Safe Mask, a small day pack; water and a snack (if you like). If the day is cold, you may want a thermos and hot drink. For hot days bring sunscreen/hat and bug protection if desired. If the weather is cold, please dress in layers to stay warm as we move at a very slow pace and don't work up body heat. Dress in more layers more than you think you will need in fall and winter- hat, gloves, long johns and a very warm coat. It can be very chilly in the shade. Unless it is a big downpour or violent storm, the walk will go on in the rain. If raining, it's important to have a waterproof shell including pants, and /or an umbrella. Rain enhances sensory experience and makes for some beautiful forest bathing experiences. Lastly, bring a small beach towel. We may sit or lay on damp ground or have wet feet to dry.
Wild Wellness Guide Cancellation Policy for Public Walks: Preparation for your forest bathing session begins several hours before your arrival. I am unable to replace group members with last minute cancellations. Therefore I ask that any cancellation or rescheduling arrangements be made as far in advance as possible, with a minimum of 24 hour notice. Cancellations within 24 hours notice or before will be refunded. Emergency cancellation with less than 24 hours notice will be credited for a future forest bathing session within a 12 month period from your cancellation. No shows will be charged the full amount paid.
Inclement Weather: Forest Bathing sessions take place in most weather throughout the year. In cases of storms, lightning, pouring rain, or wildfire smoke at "Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups", sessions will be cancelled with full refund to registered participants.
