What To Expect

Come and experience the magic of nature in the Lower Hudson Valley in a whole new way through immersing yourself in one of the area's best-kept secrets: the expansive forests of Blue Mountain Park in Peekskill, NY (just over an hour north of NYC).

We'll explore the forest and connect with nature through a slow-paced, easeful sensory exploration based on the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku ("forest bathing"). Decades of studies have discovered a wide range of health benefits associated with this practice, including stress relief, better sleep, lowered blood pressure and inflammation, and improved immunity.

Your trained and certified guide will lead the way, offering optional invitations designed to help you step into your own authentic way of being in the outdoors.

When we intentionally slow ourselves down and awaken our senses, we can find a sense of connection with parts of ourselves and the natural world that we may not have even noticed we were missing.

Forest therapy is for everybody. No special skills or equipment required. We'll cover about 1 mile in distance total, taking plenty of seated breaks along the way for our invitations.
