Come as you are. Leave lighter.

A guided forest walk is an invitation to unplug, quiet the mind, and awaken the senses. Research shows time in the forest can ease tension, lift mood, and support the body's natural immune system. No striving, no hurried hiking — just two hours of uninterrupted attunement, in a quiet forest in Maine.

Shinrin-yoku

Forest therapy developed in Japan in the 1980’s as an antidote to a burgeoning tech industry, where it is known as Shinrin-yoku (shinrin meaning ‘forest’, yoku meaning ‘bath’). Therefore Shinrin-yoku means literally bathing in a forest.

It was magical to be in the woods with colleagues and our thoughtful and well-prepared guide who was perfect for leading and guiding the group.

It felt good to be part of a group who are interested in forest therapy and nature appreciation. I very much enjoyed that we did some things together and also had periods of solo exploration—a nice mix
