Unplug, Refresh, and Reconnect with Nature

Time outside with a Nature & Forest Therapy Guide helps you cope with life's ups and downs, slow down, and reconnect with yourself and nature.

Forest Therapy Ottawa will help you:
  • De-stress, breathe, and immerse yourself in nature's healing gifts.
  • Boost your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health and well-being.
  • Connect with yourself and others by sharing your experience.

What to Expect

A walk is 1.5 to 3 hrs long. We move slowly and pause often. The guide offers "invitations" to help you rest your mind, slow down, and awaken your senses to each moment unfolding around and within you. Participants branch out for short explorations, solo or in pairs, and then circle up and have an opportunity to share stories. We close our time together with wild-crafted tea, from plants on the trail where we've been walking.

Benefits

Nature & Forest Therapy is an evidence-based practice. Studies show that slowing down in nature reduces stress levels and blood pressure, and boosts our immune systems. It improves mental health and enhances brain power and creativity. Indigenous peoples have long taught that a strong bond between humans and the more-than-human world is essential for the health of all life. Modern science is now catching up with this ancient wisdom.

Why go with a Guide?

Andrea, your Forest Therapy Guide, gently offers a path to awaken to the gifts of nature. A specific sequence of invitations helps us shift from our stressed state brought on by the demands of modern life, to a place of calm aliveness, where healing and new insights can arise.
Walking with a guide and a group can give us a sense of freedom to linger and explore in ways we may not do on our own.

"A Forest Therapy walk is perfect to calm you, centre you, re-calibrate how you live life.
It is a joyful and easy approach to mindfulness, which has always eluded me because my mind is always too busy to be mindful."

- Diane, Forest Therapy Ottawa participant
