Shinrin-yoku, absorb the forest with your senses.

  • Integrate yourself into the forest. Nature has the remarkable ability to guide and inspire.

  • Appreciate the spectacle of the natural world. Move slow, stop often, and take in the entirety of what is presented.

  • You’ve entered into a realm of unlimited pleasures. Engage with local traditions and foster appreciation for Indigenous wisdom.

How much time do you spend outdoors?

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the average American spends 93% of their life indoors; 87% of their life is inside buildings, 6% of their life is in automobiles.

That's only 7% of your entire life outdoors!

In today's fast-paced, technology-driven world, finding moments of tranquility and peace is becoming increasingly challenging. The art of forest bathing, a practice rooted in ancient traditions, offers a respite from the chaos of modern life and a chance to connect with nature's healing embrace. As we delve into the wonders of forest bathing, let us uncover the profound benefits it bestows upon our minds, bodies, and souls.
