Forest Bathing & Nature Therapy Walk

Overview

Forest Bathing is the simple practice of walking slowly through the forest, connecting with the environment with all senses rather than rushing to a destination. Enjoy the magic along the way! 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!

We really enjoyed the Blue Ghost Firefly tour with Krista and Kelly. The forest was magical after dark, the fireflies were beautiful, and Krista and Kelly did a great job providing information about the art of forest bathing. We would have preferred fewer "observation and sharing" sessions as they become redundant. One such session at the tea service at the end of the tour would have been more effective. P.S. Kelly's White Pine tea was really delicious!

Thanks for your thoughtful feedback, Paula! It was an honor to spend time in the forest with you, and I'm glad to hear you enjoyed soaking up the beauty & twilight magic of the forest with Kelly & Christa. I hope you'll join us again for next year's blue ghost tour or consider one of our full moon forest bathing walks. Those are pretty magical too! Until the next time... happy adventuring! -Billie & the AWT Team

The Blue Ghost Firefly Walk and Forest Bathing was excellent. The guides were extremely informative and courteous. The entire experience is one I will treasure, especially having the opportunity to watch this special species of fireflies in the forest.

when my wife invited me to "forest bathe," i was initially somewhat bemused. "hmmm, 'forest bathing'; sounds kind of fun and at least like good exercise." within 10-minutes, though, i realized that this was not a lightweight, surface introduction to something interesting about the woods, but instead an invitation to go within – deeply within – and to do so with others. the forest may be subtle, even slow, but it holds the properties and possibilities for transformation; and not just "happy, smiley-faced, back-to-nature" transformation, but a call to our essence; a call to our core emotions (joy and fear, sadness, anger, even surprise). the forest and the people who journey alongside us – the transparency, vulnerability and generosity of both – invite an easy access to our deeper body-minds, and to our internal wisdom. while our guides, kelly and krista, were welcoming and kind – finishing our visit with a nurturing tea ceremony – they were also serious-minded, fully accepting and open to whatever might emerge: from fear and sadness to clarity, newness and joy. what a great gift this was. my gratitude to our guides...and to my wife for a meaningful (and needed) experience. - david vk
