What is Forest Therapy?

Forest Therapy is a trauma-sensitive and relational practice that supports the wellness of all beings - human and other-than-human. (Note that I use Forest Therapy and Forest Bathing interchangeably)

As your Forest Therapy guide, I offer a supportive, collaborative, and loving container for your experience. In Forest Bathing, I offer invitations: opportunities to let the thinking mind quiet, attune to your senses, and connect with the land around you. You can think of invitations as simple somatic, mindful, or “body-ful”, practices.

We move very slowly in Forest Therapy. We don’t go very far - instead we have some time to slow down and really notice the living world around and within us. Forest Therapy is a way to care for yourself, and to nurture reciprocal relationships with land, soil, trees, plants, and other beings.

We are nature -
we are not separate from the
world around us.
Guided Forest Therapy helps us remember our home in ourselves, and in the wider world.

Whiteness, patriarchy, and other systems of oppression want us to forget that we are nature - always, everywhere we go.

Forest Therapy offers us time to remember our bones, blood, skin, spirit, minds, hearts - and to remember that we’re made of everything around us.

All that came before and that we live alongside continuously creates us. Spending time with the other-than-human world allows us to weave and re-weave lifegiving relationships - with ourselves, with other humans, and with everyone else. Everyone else being moss, bark, dirt, leaves, fungus, beetles, you know - Everyone.
