Experience deep nature connection on this half-day retreat with Certified Forest Therapy Guide, Nadine Mazzola. Peel the layers of stress away and support healing by experiencing the medicine of the forest. We’ll do a series of relaxing and engaging activities to engage our senses, deepen nature connection hone intuition and connect with the natural world around us.

This walk covers a total distance of about 1.5 miles on well-maintained but at times uneven trail. The walk will still be on if it's raining, unless it is a really big downpour or violent storm.

Rain often enhances sensory experience and makes for some of our most memorable walks.
