Forest Bathing

This specialty activity is offered to the public on select dates at various Treetop Trekking parks, or can be privately booked for small groups of up to 10 people at the park of your choice on your preferred dates.

The forest bathing experience begins with participants being guided into deep connection with their senses before being offered invitations to engage in conscious, contemplative immersion in the sights, sounds, and smells of nature. After each invitation, we will gather in council with an opportunity to share a few words in response to prompts like “what are you noticing” and “what is alive in your right now?” The experience culminates with a wild tea ceremony where participants will have the opportunity to sample an herbal tea made from local, wild foraged plants.

Forest bathing is a guided individual practice, where groups of up to 10 participants walk together, while immersed in their individual experiences during invitations, coming together in council after each invitation to share in community.

Your guide for the forest bathing experience is Brett Sanger, a trained and certified Forest Therapy Guide with the Global Institute of Forest Therapy who has been intentionally cultivating his mindfulness and nature connection practices for over six years. Brett is also a Guide Trainer with Treetop Trekking and has been working with us since 2019. We are pleased to help him on his journey to share the practice of forest therapy with as many people as possible.
