Join Gwen of Intentionally Outdoors on a guided forest bathing walk and sauna session with Hot Spell Sauna. This deeply sensory experience will begin with a guided forest bathing walk.

You will also have opportunities to gather and share with other participants.

This offering is designed for adults aged 18 and older. Please register and pay in advance, as only registered participants can join.

What is Forest Therapy?

Forest Therapy, inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku or forest bathing, involves immersing yourself in nature through all five senses. A certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide leads you through a series of sensory based invitations that encourage mindful interactions with nature. These walks are not a traditional hike, exercise or naturalist walk, instead Forest Therapy focuses on nurturing your relationship with nature and yourself, fostering relaxation and rejuvenation. It is a practice where we slow down, awaken our senses and reconnect to the land.
