Guided Forest Bathing In Maine, New Hampshire & Northern New England. Trust the Forest. It's the job of the forest and you to do the rest. I hope you join us!

As a Certified Forest Bathing Guide, it's my job to create a safe container for nature connection. Guided Forest Bathing is a nature based mindfulness practice - usually done with a group of others. The sessions are about 2 hours long and include guided mindfulness invitations designed to engage all your senses and drop into the present moment. They usually end with a tea gathering where we seal in our practice together and connect as a special forest community. The scientifically proven benefits of forest bathing are reduced stress, lower pulse rate & blood pressure, improved mood & creativity, improved immune function to name a few - and I have experienced just a calm sense of well being after guided sessions. Through mindful guided invitations you are able to enter the more than human world - and that is a place where you have the chance to quiet your mind and settle into your body and fully embrace the present moment. We do all of our living in the present moment only - the past is gone, and the future hasn't happened. All we have is the present moment again...and again...mindfulness practices like forest bathing give you an opportunity to drop in to the present moment and experience all the benefits.

Lee Holden at lists Forest Bathing in his 2025 book “ready, set, slow” as a slow nature based practice that “may well be just the ticket to 360 well-being.” We couldn’t agree more! 🌿💙

This book is surprising me at every turn too. I’ve been practicing QiGong 2-3 times a week with Holden QiGong since I injured my shoulder during yoga in 2017 and there are practices in here I’ve never tried. Every chapter offers daily exercises to live and breathe more slowly—and even video links. My new handbook for living slow and joyful!
