and she stopped and she heard what the trees said to her,
and she sat there for hours not wanting to leave.
For, the forest said nothing … it just let her breathe.”

Reconnect with Nature: A Guided Forest Bathing Walk for Earth Day
Join me for a special Earth Day experience—an immersive forest bathing walk designed to restore balance, deepen your connection with nature, and cultivate mindfulness. Guided by the principles of Shinrin-Yoku, or “forest bathing,” this walk will encourage you to slow down, engage your senses, and embrace the healing energy of the natural world.
As we move gently through the forest, you’ll be invited to experience the landscape in a new way—through mindful observation and intentional presence. This journey is about more than just walking; it’s about awakening your senses, grounding yourself in the earth’s rhythms, and finding peace in the moment.
We will conclude our time together with a sacred sharing circle at sunset, offering space to reflect, connect, and honor both our personal experiences and the collective energy of the Earth.
No prior experience is needed—just an open heart and a willingness to slow down.
