Shinrin Yoku

Take a break from your busy life and enter the peace and quiet of nature. Connect with your senses through smelling balsam fir needles, ground yourself by sitting next to a large white pine tree, or watch the magical shadows of the leaves on the forest floor. Join us on a walk where we slow down and pay attention to the beauty all around. Regular walks are held in Surry each Saturday morning and Wednesday afternoon all year.

SIGN UP HERE FOR GROUP FOREST BATHING IN SURRY.

 

You are welcome to request a private tour with your group in Surry or near your location (within 40 minutes of Surry). Fill out the form for a private Shinrin Yoku adventure.

 

Mini-Retreat in Nature

Take the opportunity to slow down, have no agenda, and experience the art of "just being" in nature. Step away from the chaos of your hectic life. Embrace the serenity of nature as you disconnect from technology. Relax and rejuvenate in the gentle embrace of the forest. Forge a profound bond with the natural world around you. Uncover the awe-inspiring beauty of Maine's great outdoors. Nurture a connection with your inner self. Choose the activities you would like to do such as: yoga, guided meditation, chakra healing, a feast in the forest, sound healing, or creative time. This is a great experience for birthday parties, bachelorette parties, family reunions, or workplace teambuilding. Fill out the form to request a private mini-retreat.

Labyrinth Journey

Connect with the incredible healing power of earth's energy with the 7-circuit Cretan Labyrinth. The experience will begin with centering and intention formation. Then there will be a silent walk through the forest before walking the labyrinth. Each ring of the labyrinth connects us to a different level of our being (emotional, mental, physical, etc). The construction of a labyrinth creates healing vortexes on earth where people can access healing, intuition and connection to their higher selves. We will share our experiences and express gratitude over tea and snacks. It's $50 per person.

Family Forest Bathing

Are you looking to slow down and spend time in nature with your children? This 2 hour experience will provide a chance for you and your family to disconnect from technology and reconnect with the forest. Designed for families with children ages 15 and under (for older teens consider signing up for our other forest bathing events). We will begin with introductions to each other and to the practice of Shinrin Yoku. We'll engage in some invitations as a group and alone to interact with nature. We will finish with herbal tea, homemade snacks, and share our experiences (which is optional). It's $40 per person. Children 4 and under are free.
