Forest Bathingš³
Forest bathing is not the same thing as hiking or a simple walk in the woods. The destination in forest bathing is āhere,ā not āthere.ā The pace is slow, not fast. The focus is on connection and relationship. The heart opens.
Immerse your senses in that ambience of the forest. Walk slowly and notice things. Feel the touch of the breeze on your skin; notice the sounds of the brook and the birds and the movement of trees in the wind. Let what you notice find its home inside you; give it hospitality. You are home.
From āYour Guide to Forest Bathingā by M. Amos Clifford
Forest Therapy š“
The Forest is the Therapist, the Guide opens the Doors.š
This is the motto we work and live by. We believe that the forest and nature in general carries the wisdom and offers the healing that each person needs. As guides we work in partnership with the forest. We support others as they awaken their senses and slow down to become fully present in and with the forest.
Guides are not therapists. Support for wellness, personal development, and perhaps healing comes to participants from their interaction with natural environments. The sole aim of guided activities is to create and sustain safe, meaningful, and relational contact between participants and nature.
(From ANFT Forest Therapy Guide Training Manual)
Full Circle Retreats offers a harmonious blend of comfort, creativity, and connection with nature. Our spacious 5,000+ square foot retreat center comfortably accommodates 23+ guests, featuring thoughtfully curated amenities designed to nourish the mind, body, and spirit.
