Story weaving has become a warm hug with each season’s passing.

As a new forest bathing guide, I was guided in this modality by Ben Page. What started as a curiosity to strengthen my own expressive outlets, grew to be a monthly virtual offering while in our bus, and has now become a cherished collaborative space within our community to welcome each equinox and solstice.

Summer Solstice we wove renewal,
Autumn Equinox was on thresholds with our pokeberry ink,
Winter Solstice about soil with mullein torch creations.

My word for 2026 is devotion and this practice feels like that exactly.

Overjoyed to continue to create alongside Ashlyn and breathe a new depth into these seasonal rhythms.

This practice has gifted me so much, rippling into my life in ways I could have never anticipated.

I am humbled to witness the gentle wisdom of these mountains and how accessible opportunities to practice forest bathing will continue to open doors for others.

See you this Saturday for the Friends of the Jackson County Greenways certified forest bathing trail grand opening!

P.S. this video was taken after a forest bathing walk with Debby Singleton in May.

P.P.S Jackson County has 2 certified forest bathing trails, you can visit the other with Mark Ellison at Pinnacle Park.
