Victoria, BC, Canada

Coming to you from old growth forest in British Columbia, Canada, experience Nature and Forest Bathing from your own home, garden or balcony,  anywhere in the World! Using Zoom you can dial in from your phone or computer over video or audio. Through a series of 'invitations', I will guide you slowly, intentionally, and mindfully move through your indoor or outdoor landscape in ways that cultivate presence, opening all the senses. Actively communicate with the land and connect with others, wherever you are, over 1.5 hours. You can step away from your screens, if you prefer, simply follow the gentle invitations as you listen to my voice from your phone or computer. You're welcome to join from wherever you are. These online gatherings invite you to participate from a safe and familiar outdoor space near you, such as your garden, a local park or a nearby greenspace.  If you're unable to leave your home, you can participate by looking outside through your window, sitting next to an indoor plant, or gathering items that represent nature to you, such as rocks,  seashells, favorite images of nature, herbs, fruits and vegetables, wooden objects, etc. We will share our experiences with the group after each invitation. Silence is also a means of sharing, and no outcomes are expected. If you use the Zoom video link, you may call in on your phone or from your computer. You join by dialing in using a phone number, or use your data or internet connection. D‍ownload the Zoom app for your phone or computer here: https://zoom.us/. Comfort: For those who will be outside, I suggest that you dress a little warmer than usual since you will be moving slowly and possibly sitting on the ground. Having a small mat, bag, or cushion to sit on can also be nice. For those of you inside, I suggest sitting near a plant(s) and/or a window with a view outside, if possible. I will be sharing my view, so you can "experience" the outdoors through your screen as well. Zoom Tips and Etiquette: Please practice Group Etiquette by keeping your phone on mute unless invited to share. On Zoom, in the bottom  of your screen, there is a little microphone. Click on it to mute or unmute yourself. In order to ensure the best experience for everyone, please commit to fully participating while you are on the group call and refrain from answering texts or emails. Please reach out to me if you have any questions. Please reach out to me if you have any questions.

Bat Cave, NC, USA

Join us at Transfiguration Preserve in Bat Cave, NC, a destination for reflection and restoration for more than a century. During this gentle, 3-hour experience, we will explore the forest and the banks of the Rocky Broad River while quieting our weary minds and awakening our senses. The experience culminates in a wild-foraged tea ceremony. This walk is led by Kelly Bruce, a certified nature and forest therapy guide/trail consultant, and nature connection mentor certified in wilderness first aid and CPR. Forest bathing originated in Japan where it is known as Shinrin Yoku. It’s not about hiking to a destination and there’s no actual bathing involved. It’s about immersing yourself in the healing qualities of nature and being fully present. Participants should be able to walk one mile on uneven terrain with a moderate grade. Dress extra warm with layers as we will be moving slowly. Please reach out if you have questions or concerns. Space is limited to 12 participants. Advance registration is required by RSVP below. Registration will close at 12 p.m. on December 7th. Welcome letter with directions will be sent after registration. Donations are not required and the amount of your gift is entirely up to you. A donation of $30 is suggested for forest bathing walks, for those who are able. Donations of $35 or more will include Conserving Carolina membership benefits.

Guided Forest Bathing is an opportunity to connect to Nature and experience CNC in a new way. During this gentle 2½ hour ramble, we will balance wandering with rest, facilitated group gatherings, and solo time. Your guide will offer invitations, or suggestions, for safely engaging with Nature through our senses: sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell. With no expectations or goals, this is an opportunity to slow down, unplug, destress, and practice presence in the moment. We quite literally “come to our senses” and deepen our connection to Nature, ourselves, and each other. Inspired by the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, which translates to “forest bathing,” this is a sensory immersion, a chance to soak in the therapeutic benefits of being present in Nature (no water required!).
