Forest Bathing/Shinrin Yoku Experience
As a certified ANFT guide (Association of Nature and Forest Therapy), I will guide you through a Forest Bathing (Shinrin Yoku) experience that will connect you with nature in a way that often provides profound experiences in the range from deep calm to impactful healing. We will meet at the designated location, in Kananaskis Country in the Rocky Mountains, west of Calgary. We begin by walking to a location at a very easy pace and more of a saunter. At the location, you will be guided through sensory connecting sessions. We gather several times to share what we are noticing or what is coming up. At the conclusion, we wind up with a tea ceremony, with tea made from local safe ingredients (rosehip tea). After tea, we return to the trailhead (typically between 500 -1000m from our destination). You can expect a feeling of deep calm and peace following the experience, and sometimes for up to several weeks or months. There are also several significant physiological benefits ranging from immediate lower blood pressure to lower cortisol levels. Based on the Japanese-born practice of Shinrin Yoku, Forest bathing is supporting the mental and physical health of millions worldwide.

We will set off on our hike, at a comfortable pace for approximately 2 hours (with several breaks along the way). We will then stop for a light meal and beverage in a beautiful location (lake, stream, ridge, etc.). After our meal, we will begin our return, with more stops thrown in. You will experience the amazing beauty of the Rocky Mountains while also experiencing the abundant local history, flora, and fauna. Our trail will be between 5-8 km in length with an elevation gain of up to 300 M. In some cases, we increase length and/or difficulty based on the group's overall ability or interest.
