You don’t have to invest in a costly retreat or venture deep into the wilderness to experience the healing benefits of nature.
Join a remote session with our certified nature and forest therapy guides who will help you to strengthen your relationship with nature and your surroundings…no matter where in the world you may be!
Connect to the land wherever you are, whether it’s your own yard, favorite local park, or a green space outside your office. We’ll help you connect to nature, yourself, and each other.
The Virtual Forest Bathing experience is tailored to each group. Pricing starts at $350 for up to 20 screens. This experience can be customized quite a bit so final price will depend on group size, your goals for the experience, desired duration, etc. Please contact us for more details.
This isn’t your average nature walk or a hike in the woods. Forest bathing (Shinrin-Yoku) is the Japanese practice of immersing yourself in nature.
Forest Bathing encourages you to slow down, relax and reconnect with nature.
With the help of a professional guide, we’ll spend time outdoors (virtually) in a way that encourages healing for ourselves and our community.
Together, we will quiet our busy minds, awaken our senses and experience how luxurious it feels to linger in the present moment. We’ll do this through a series of intentional yet simple and accessible activities that we like to call “invitations.”
Scientific studies prove that nature immersion is good for the body and mind. Together, we’ll go on a slow and gentle wander, enhancing our health and wellness in the process.
Throughout the session, there will be opportunities to share in a judgement-free setting. These moments encourage connection amongst participants which makes it an excellent team-building activity or a way to strengthen relationships.
Upon departure, we’ll have an enhanced appreciation for the natural world. Not to mention a stress-reducing practice we can apply in our daily lives to improve overall well being.
There are so many health benefits to be gained from Forest Bathing, including…
We’ll guide you remotely from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina live via Zoom or your favorite teleconferencing app.
While participants receive instructions and connect with the help of technology, the idea is to detach from your devices and explore the natural world.
This gentle practice typically lasts one to two hours and is suitable for all activity levels.
The sensory experience culminates in a tea ceremony, so brew a cup of your favorite herbal tea and join us for a toast to enhanced vitality and wellness!
It’s amazing what nature reveals when we allow ourselves permission to slow down, quiet our minds and awaken our senses.

Nope! We’ll be immersing ourselves in the restorative atmosphere of the natural world and aren’t bathing in the traditional rubber-ducky-in-the-bathtub sense. Depending on where you are in the world, you might have the opportunity to dip your feet in a stream, and a rain shower is always possible, but you can otherwise expect not to get wet.
Your guide is certified as a forest therapy guide by the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy and holds current certifications in Wilderness First Aid and CPR. They look forward to sharing the practice of forest bathing with you! For our current roster of guides, visit our team page.
Cancellations more than 7 days prior to your scheduled experience are refundable minus a $100 administrative fee. Out of respect for your guide’s time, cancellations between 7-0 days prior to your experience are non-refundable.
Yes, headphones are preferred. We recommend you leave one earbud in and one out so you can receive instructions from your guide while listening to the sounds of nature.
Bring an open heart and an open mind. Be sure to install and troubleshoot your Zoom/teleconferencing app before the session begins and double check your internet/data connection in the location you’d like to explore.
Absolutely! There’s no right or wrong way to forest bathe. We’ll guide you through it with simple instructions and invitations. Just be you!
