"Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet." - Thich Nhat Hanh
Walk with Megan and enjoy the benefits of a guided sensory immersion in nature. With a focus on awareness of breath, body, and connection, Megan guides you through a series of invitations to notice nature through the senses. Each invitation is crafted to allow for simple human to nature connections, communication, and creativity.
An immersion is approximately 2-3 hours in duration and covers 1km of distance on the land.

Why do I need a certified guide?
A certified forest therapy guide is trained to facilitate slow and mindful walks in nature. Guides are familiar with the trails, have Wilderness First Aid certification, and open the doors for each participant to have a safe and sensory experience.
From the guided experience, participants will gain a restored feeling of love and respect for the land, along with a series of sensory invitations to practice at home.
In 2022, Megan received her nature and forest therapy certification from The Association of Nature and Forest Therapy. (https://www.natureandforesttherapy.earth).
