How often do you see an image of a caged or confined animal and feel sad that it is not in its normal habitat, perhaps never considering the last time you spent extended time in your natural human environment?
Nature Immersions, inspired by the Japanese tradition of Shinrin-yoku, are slow walks through the trees that include invitations to be mindful, present, and reflective. Translated directly as "forest bathing," it is a practice that has been shown to lower biomarkers associated with stress, as detailed in Environmental Health and Preventive Medicine. |
Group immersions are about 4 hours long. The pace is slow and deliberate, and begins with a gentle yoga practice with an emphasis on cultivating presence through the breath. We move through a series of reflective invitations meant to anchor you fully in your present-moment experience.
Participating in a nature immersion can be particularly useful if you are in need of connecting to your most wise self. The process can help clarify life circumstances that your rational mind is struggling with, giving you insight into how to best move forward. Read more about your guide by clicking here. |
