Guided Forest Bathing
and Other Natural Kinship Practices in the
Deserts & Mountains of Southern California
Sage, juniper and piñon.
A full breath.
The ancientness of stone.
The scent of a mist-filled forest.
An early morning tide pool.
The pull of a mountain stream.
The quiet wolf.
The owl at dusk.
Peeling birchbark.
As a certified Nature & Forest Therapy Guide I guide and accompany individuals & groups during forest bathing and other practices that invite us to explore our natural kinship
with the more-than-human world.
Joshua Tree, Yucca Valley, Morongo Valley, Palm Springs, Coachella Valley, Big Bear and more.
