Relax and deepen your connection with nature.

Experience guided nature connection and forest bathing in your own backyard, or some of the Sunshine Coast's most stunning and iconic wilderness areas.

Forest bathing draws on a sequence of evidence-based activities that support us to slow down, become more present and comfortable outside, exploring and deepening our relationships with nature.

We walk, we explore and we might share, spending some of the time together and some of the time solo, but always with nature.

Walks include:

Orientation to place, acknowledgement of country and sensory grounding guidance
Guided sequence of relational nature therapy practices by ANFT certified guide
Fresh herbal forest tea ritual and light snack optional
