Unique Opportunity to experience Forest Medicine Walks.

=0D=0A=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.
=0D=0A=- Each walk begins with establishing embodied contact with the present moment and place.

=0D=0A=- The walks end with a ceremony of sharing tea made from foraged local plants.
