Escape The Stress Of Modern Life And Reconnect With The Healing Power Of The Forest!

Everyone is welcome to join us on this journey of self-discovery and renewal.

Let the sights, scents, and sensations of the forest nourish your body, mind, and soul.

The effects of a forest therapy session last up to 30 days, so we have one booked for almost every month though the year!

For Tickets Please Visit Our Event Website Here.

This meditative walk through the forest will invite you to engage with nature through your natural senses for a deeper connection - activation of your parasympathetic nervous system for deep relaxation.

Once we have activated our parasympathetic nervous system, we enter a state of rest and digest, which is the state in which our body can fully heal.

Connect with like-minded individuals who share a passion for wellness and nature. Share stories, insights, and laughter as you forge new friendships in a supportive and nurturing environment.

Recharge your spirit and leave feeling refreshed, revitalized, and inspired by the beauty and wisdom of the natural world.
