Experiences
We believe all life has an inherent right to flourish and thrive. Our experiences open the door to our heart consciousness and connection to all life, fostering the collective healing needed by all.
Forest Therapy For All
We believe that the tools to access the incredible gifts and wisdom of the natural world should be available to all.
We offer micro-experiences for younger participants as well as full length Forest Therapy Walks. We aim to make the micro-experiences free of charge and currently offer our full length walks on a donation based system. All are welcome, no-one will ever be turned away.
Forest therapy, or Shinrin-yoku, offers significant, evidence-based physical and psychological health benefits, including reduced stress, lower blood pressure, improved immune function, and better mood and sleep quality. These effects are often attributed to the natural compounds (phytoncides) emitted by trees, along with the calming atmosphere.
We have evolved alongside our more-than-human friends and Forest Therapy creates a path of renewed reverence, reciprocity and deep connection.
Forest Therapy Walks
Remembering and reconnecting to the healing power of nature.
The Association of Nature and Forest Therapy was founded in 2012 by M. Amos Clifford and is inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku, literally translating to Forest Bathing. Their motto is: The forest is the therapist, the guide opens the door.
Forest Therapy is a practice encouraging us to find stillness among the more-than-human world. We have evolved alongside these incredible beings, and science is proving the incredible health benefits of spending time in nature. It regulates our nervous systems, reduces cortisol levels, increases memory capacity, activates our NK cells that attack cancer, and so much more.
The healing of the planet begins with our own personal healing. Forest Therapy offers a simple and profound practice that leads us to reconnect with our heart and the healing we seek.

RYSA
The RYSA Method combines the incredible work and gifts of Reiki, Yin Yoga, and Somatic Awareness. These in-person individual and group offerings blend the benefits of these three modalities to offer release and freedom for participants.
Reiki has been proven to reduce stress and anxiety, ease pain and improve your quality of life.
Yin Yoga has been proven to reduce symptoms of stress, depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbances while improving emotional balance and increase flexibility and circulation.
Somatic Awareness brings awareness to the body, mind connection.
When we bring these three practices together, we create a powerful opportunity for inspired awareness and release that open open channels of flow and surrender allowing us to step into our gifts and purpose in a new and inspired way.
These in-person sessions can be booked individually and you can sign up for the newsletter to get notifications of group offerings as well.
Each session is individually customized. Allow 1.5 to 2 hours for a session.
