February is the month for love. My next public forest bathing experience will happen the weekend after Valentine's Day.
Just because Valentine's Day will be over does not mean the love has to end. We'll embark on a rejuvenating journey to awaken you senses and your spirit. Whether you join for your love for the earth or you join with someone you love, be it a partner, friend or family member, come experience a sense of deep connection and inner peace in a fun a playful way.
As you wander along moss-laden paths and breathe in the crisp, pure air, let the soothing sounds of rustling leaves and gentle bird songs wash away the stresses of the past year. Forest bathing, known as shinrin-yoku in Japanese culture, has been scientifically proven to reduce stress, boost mood, and enhance overall well-being.
Embrace the opportunity to connect with yourself through the healing energy of the natural world, allowing the lush greenery and towering trees to inspire a sense of calm and clarity, setting the perfect tone for a fresh start in the coming year. Recharge your spirit amidst the beauty of the forest, and emerge ready to embrace the possibilities that the New Year holds.

We’ll increase our energy flow and state of happiness as we bathe our senses in the style of Shinrin-Yoku.
Our guided mindfulness-based walk will take us from a lookout with splendid views of San Francisco Bay through stunning Redwood and Eucalyptus forests and across the wetlands of El Polin springs.
Each ecosystem full of life filled with myriad delightful sights and sounds unique to that locale. You'll be guided through invitations to deepen your experience of nature in unique ways, which may be both playful and introspective. We'll listen for the forests wisdom for guidance on what we want to bring forth in the coming year.
As we drop into the beauty and stillness of the forest, and we will pause as a group to connect deeper through sharing our experiences both internal and external.
Deep and connecting experience on beautiful land guided by a caring soul. Gregg had some endearing practices that enriched my day and that reminded me of how important nature is. - Joy
We combine elements of authentic relating, mindfulness and somatics to strengthen our connections with each other and the world around us. Each time I embark on one of these adventures, I feel inspired by the group and what we create together.
From the shares that happen in the circles where we give each other permission to be our full authentic selves to the serenity of connection with the land in new and unique ways.
Our walk will end with tasty snacks and delicious tea made from foraged plants and served in handmade tea cups.
A sense of calm and inner peace will be a gift we’ll take with us.
