“Seated meditation practice has not been my favorite activity despite knowing how beneficial it can be. This forest bathing experience feels meditative, restorative and I would argue has the same/similar benefits. I love how present I feel during these experiences and how much more connected I feel to our earth home”
“I'm used to hiking quickly through the forest, so this was a big change for me. Heather's kind, grounded voice and approach helped me with this new way of being outside. Her prompts were accessible and interesting and I appreciated how there was room for humor and lightness too.”
“I highly recommend joining a forest therapy walk with Heather. I was new to this experience/practice/modality and I felt so welcomed. She guided us thru various invitations with a note to be mindful of what felt right for our body. It was such a gift to participate!”
“I went into my first forest therapy session with little expectations, but was delighted when I found myself grounded, centered, and connected with the earth and its beings around me within minutes upon our arrival! Rose and Cedar's practice is just what the world needs in this moment of uncertainty. In my session with Heather, I became centered, grounded, connected, and my heart was full--lasting into the rest of my week. I highly recommend not only checking Rose and Cedar's services out, but to integrate this into your personal practice.”
“Heather's delight and genuine love and respect for the forest beings creates such a space for both grounding and heart connection. Her invitations to experience and be present are shared with so much compassion and joy. She bring humor, presence, respect, and her authentic self to the space in such a way that inspires me to do the same.”
“Settling in with some of the first invitations, when I opened my eyes I could feel an incredible energy. I felt I was exactly where I needed to be.”
“Heather offers structure and integrity to the process while also offering participants flexibility and balance to experience their own connection(s) in the moment. I valued the awareness to tune into the reciprocity of living, for all beings.”
I've already recommended this to several folks! It was so wonderful and nourishing. Heather's presence was safe and supportive, kind and accepting. The invitations were well-crafted and helped deepen my experience without feeling prescriptive. I really got the sense that Heather was acting as the conduit for the forest to do its work, which was perfect and congruent with her honoring of the forest and all of its inhabitants. The experience was nothing short of magical while being so regulating at the same time. I will definitely be back!
