Unique Opportunity to experience Forest Medicine Walks.

Join Haida Bolton, BC’s first certified Forest Therapy Guide

Surrounded by the sensual ambiance of the forest, we have the opportunity to sink into a deep calm space, that opens us to the physical, emotional and mental nurturing energy nature provides.

It is slow…it is mindful…it is healing…and it can expand your heart, your creativity and your relationships. The world will be a better place when everyone is connected to nature!

A Forest Therapy Guide facilitates safe gentle walks, providing instructions—referred to as “invitations”—for sensory opening activities along the way. These walks follow a standard sequence.

- Each walk begins with establishing embodied contact with the present moment and place.

- Next come a series of connective invitations, often improvised in the moment and adapted to the needs of participants.

- These may be followed by wander time and/or sit spot.

- The walks end with a ceremony of sharing tea made from foraged local plants.

The Association of Nature & Forest Therapy lists myriad benefits including reduced blood pressure, increased energy, and increased ability to focus.

Each walk is 3 hours - includes wild plant tea ceremony

Maximum participants per walk - 12 people

Families with children are welcome to attend the Sunday, April 29 Walk
