Follow the Sun with Forest Bathing

Inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin Yoku, a forest therapy or “forest bathing” walk is designed to help you slow down, drop into your senses and engage in core routines that intentionally deepen and cultivate a restorative connection with nature. Punctuating the spring and fall equinox and the summer solstice, we invite you to “follow the sun” with certified Forest Therapy Guide, Tina Guldhammer Frei.

Throughout the walk, Tina will offer a series of invitations that give you the opportunity to cultivate presence, promote healing, and actively connect with the land in ways you might not have tried before. Each walk closes with a tea ceremony featuring a local tea plant. Meet at the Arrival Garden for your walk.

Tina is a nature-connection coach, and co-founder of Cascadia Forest Therapy, a nonprofit providing support and resources to connect professional nature and forest therapy guides with the land, their communities, and each other.
