Forest Bathing & Nature Therapy Walk

Overview

This walk is a unique way to practice social distancing and self care in the nurturing forests of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The walk takes place on a private preserve where you can truly unplug, unwind, and reconnect with yourself, your loved ones, and our wild world without distraction.

Forest Bathing is the simple practice of walking slowly through the forest, connecting with the environment with all senses. I invite you to breathe deep and pause long enough to notice the gentle breeze on your skin, the sounds of the forest, and your busy mind relaxing its pace.

Studies show that time in nature offers physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits that linger even after you've left the trail behind. A guided forest therapy walk is a unique avenue to unlocking these benefits. Hope to see you on the trail soon!

I didn’t know exactly what to expect from a forest bathing tour, and it was a nice surprise. Christa was great! She guided the group towards a peaceful and joyous experience. At the end of the tour, I was so much calmer and relaxed. I totally recommend this tour to anyone who wants to have a great and peaceful time, and get closer to nature.

Hi Lenisse! I am delighted to hear that you left the walk feeling calmer than when you arrived. If there is any goal in forest bathing, that may be it! We will continue to host forest bathing walks in the area, and would love to have you again for another relaxing adventure :) -Carolyn & the Asheville Wellness Tours Team

This program was a special event in which fireflies were the main attraction. The forest bathing was to prepare us for the experience of watching the light-show provided by a great many fkireflies, including the rare blue ghost variety. The staff were well-prepared to lead us in meditative exercises. Personally, I have some physical limitations and the staff were very accomodating which made me comfortable and alowed me to have the full experience. I have long been involved in the spiritual aspect of environmental thought and this program is a fine example of how we city-dwellers can experience the renewing influence of the forest setting.
