Forest Bathing is the practice of connecting your senses to nature through a slow paced eco-therapy excursion. Originating in Japan in the 1980s, Shinrin-Yoku literally translates as "forest bathing" and was developed to help people experience a sense of overall well being, slowing down by living in the present moment and immersing oneself in the sights and sounds of a natural setting of the "more than human world".
There are scientifically proven health benefits when time is spent surrounded by nature.
Even a small amount of time in nature can have a positive impact on our health.
Some proven health benefits include lowering of stress, reduction of blood pressure, lifting depression, improving abilities of concentration & memory and boosting of the immune system by increasing the body's natural killer cells.

Forest Bathing
Immerse yourself in the serenity of the forest and experience the physical and mental health benefits of connecting your senses with nature in a new & different way. You will be guided by a qualified Certified Forest Therapy Guide (Global Institute of Forest Therapy G.I.F.T.)
Walks consist of 2.5 to 3 hours in the forest with small groups of up to 10 participants. The walks are slow paced, and on relatively even ground surrounded by the forest beings of the more than human world.
A Forest for all Seasons
The forest in any season offers the opportunity to connect all of your senses with the various sights, sounds, smells and textures ready for you to discover and engage with in an entirely new way.
Available in all seasons!

Coming in 2024!
Maple H2O
Maple H2O aka "Maple Water" the tapped untapped resource!
Maple Water is sustainably harvested sap from maple trees which is filtered and sterilized, providing a refreshing, and nutrient rich beverage option. It's low in sugar (half the sugar of coconut water) as well as low in calories, supports a healthy immune system, hydrates faster than plain water (great for post-workout recovery) and full of plant powered nutrients (electrolytes, antioxidants, probiotics).
Other great benefit - it's locally sourced in Brock Township, with a small environmental footprint.
