Connect with nature on your own and in your way.
In our busy, tech-saturated world, it's easy to feel disconnected – from nature and from the simple peace that surrounds us.
Gently rediscover that connection to soothe your mind and awaken your senses, all at your own pace.
Using the principles of forest therapy, also known as shinrin-yoku, the Japanese practice of "forest bathing," we have condensed a traditional forest therapy session into a remarkably simple 30-minute rejuvenating break in nature.

A self-guided forest therapy walk offers you the freedom to explore at your own pace, to linger where you feel drawn, and to have a truly personal experience. There's no pressure, no expectations – just the quiet invitation of the forest waiting to welcome you.
Find a local park, trail with trees, or forest, turn off your phone and take a gentle stroll. Let your senses be your guide. You might be surprised by the profound sense of calm and rejuvenation you discover.
