This Forest Bathing journey is a deep dive to awaken your senses to the world around you. It is a vital step to allow you to connect and commune, to listen to the voice of nature in a clarified way. It is the foundation of connecting with nature and you will gain depth even if you already spend a lot of time in nature.

As your guide, I will lead you through a sensory meditation and then into a series of nature invitations, where we will move slowly, smell, touch, taste and feel the sensual world around us. We will end with a tea ceremony of edible plants gathered on our journey.

The stunning and remote forest leading to the dramatic black sand beach of Karekare will be our destination for this experience. We will be discovering a seldom discovered path for maximum solitude and privacy.

If you have more time, join us for a picnic afterward, or perhaps bring your togs for a quick dip, why not make a day of it?
