Give the unique, thoughtful gift of wellness!

“A 20-year study conducted by Dr. Thomas Gilovich, a psychology professor at Cornell University, reached a powerful and straightforward conclusion: Don’t spend your money on things. The trouble with things is that the happiness they provide fades quickly. … Gilovich and other researchers have found that experiences—as fleeting as they may be—deliver more-lasting happiness than things.”
– Forbes: “Why You Should Spend Your Money on Experiences, Not Things”

Silvae Spiritus - ˈsil vaɪ ˈspɪrɪtʊs || Latin, “the breathing of the forest” ||

We provide guided Nature and Forest Therapy walks – deeply immersive experiences that invite you to fully engage all of your senses in the naturally restorative and healing environment. Designed to refresh, renew, and revitalize, our walks are crafted as an antidote to the pace and distraction of modern life; an opportunity to slow down, unplug from technology, and allow Nature to invigorate our immune and cardiovascular systems, bring a sense of grounded equilibrium to our mental health, and reintroduce us to our place in the ever-changing world. Inspired by the Japanese art & science of Shinrin-Yoku (a research-based practice translating as ‘Forest Bathing’ or ‘taking in the forest with all of one’s senses’), which seeks to explore the physiological, cognitive, and emotional benefits gained through time spent in this manner - our approach integrates the scientific insights gained over nearly 40 years of rigorous Japanese government-sanctioned study, ancient wild-tending methods practiced for millennia by indigenous peoples worldwide, and our certification through the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy Guides and Programs. Come walk with us; all are welcome here.
