“Voluminous research has documented the physical and mental health benefits of being in nature. Other research has measured the beneficial effects of meditation. So it’s only logical that an activity combining the two would also be good for you.”

I was skeptical of forest bathing. But then I tried it alongside eight Harvard doctors who looked to this practice with ancient roots to address modern ills.

So much gratitude to for including me in Camp NASW-MN. Sharing forest bathing with other social workers filled my heart. What a beautiful weekend of connection, renewal and joy among the pines.

The excitement of spotting a new bird!
My 25-year-old self is rolling her eyes at me. No matter. My 80-year-old self (who I find much more interesting) is winking and saying, “Now you’re starting to get it.”

I’ve walked my neighborhood countless times, but never noticed a single feather—until recently. Now, every walk reveals at least one. Each feather feels like a gift: of magic, of peace, of presence. I’m grateful for the birds, the feathers, and most of all…for the noticing.

Forest bathing is NOT
1. hiking or any other form of exercise,
2. learning the names of trees
3. getting naked in the forest (unless that’s your thing)

Forest bathing IS
a MINDFUL and EMBODIED practice of connecting with nature through the senses.
We do this to REDUCE STRESS, improve our HEALTH, and enhance overall WELLBEING.
We do it to RECONNECT with nature, each other and ourselves
