In this spring season of blooming and renewal, join us for a peaceful outdoor experience that invites healing within ourselves and a deeper connection with the natural world. Forest bathing is a mindful practice of slowing down and engaging the senses in nature, supporting relaxation, stress reduction, and overall wellbeing through simple guided presence outdoors.

A note to the women of Sacred Threads who joined me at College Pond in Weston this morning…

The forest thanks you for your presence.
The trees remember your stillness.
And I thank you—for joining us, for listening, and for simply being.
Until we meet again in the meadow, in the forest or maybe along the shores of the beautiful pond… may you continue to connect with this magnificent more than human world.

What a beautiful morning guiding the inspiring women of Jane Does Well. Some of the day's gifts: an osprey diving with grace, a gentle breeze whispering through the trees, and the quiet strength of the forest holding us all.

After several months of healing from a broken ankle, I’m absolutely delighted to be back in the forest — listening to birdsong, gently touching the moss, breathing in the rich, earthy scents, and reconnecting with the natural world in all its beauty.
This fall, I’m offering three Forest Bathing walks in collaboration with other wonderful organizations. I’m also excited to share that a special spring event has already been added to the calendar!

You’ll find all the details, including how to register, in the flyers located in the comments. I hope to see you in the forest soon.
