Need a safe place to slow down and be present in the solace of nature? Forest Therapy was Inspired by the Japanese practice of Forest Bathing (or Shinrin-yoku), a mindfulness practice that invites you to immerse yourself in the forest through your senses.
As your dedicated guide, I will lead you on a journey through a beautiful rainforest with a series of “invitations” meant to awaken your senses and help you connect with nature in new ways.
After our walk, we will gather for tea and sharing. Participants emerge feeling lighter, stress-free, and deeply connected to the world around and within them. Join me in this experience where nature becomes your therapy.
There are still a few spots left! To register, click the link below.

North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection is a grassroots group that advocates for the protection of drinking water on the Oregon Coast. The non-profit aims to end logging and pesticide spray within and surrounding forested drinking watersheds in the state, regardless of land ownership. The group started in 2012 by Nancy Webster, a Rockaway citizen concerned about the clearcutting of forestland and aerial pesticide spraying in the Jetty Creek Watershed—the sole source of her community’s drinking water. More at healthywatershed.org
Coast Range Association is a 501c(3) nonprofit that has been working since 1991 to find just protections for Western Oregon’s forests while supporting a vibrant rural economy.
