GRATEFUL FOREST RETREAT PARTICIPANTS:

“I had recently watched an interesting documentary on the amazing network that trees have in forests. So when I heard about the forest bathing retreat, I was naturally intrigued, but that day I was mainly hoping to unplug from my hectic schedule for a couple of hours in the company of calming people. Not only did I experience that, but as I sat amidst the canopy of towering trees, I learned about disconnecting from my expectations and just being able to be present in moment. I discovered that it was okay to just “be” whatever that may look like. If someone were to ask me what forest bathing was like I would say, it’s hard to explain, but it felt like “mutual acceptance”. The forest welcomed me into its presence; in return I was able to set aside my perfectionist views, and see every gnarly knot, seared branch, and peeling trunk as nothing less than beautiful. It was an amazing experience of appreciation and thankfulness.” ~ LS

“Thank you so much for this offering. I absolutely can’t wait for the next one – is it already scheduled? The primary insight I gained was to “be the eucalyptus amidst the turkeys” and it is a great one! It sparked me to move forward on an idea I’ve had for years…” ~ KC
