Forest Therapy is a slow guided walk in nature, with gentle activities that can accommodate most fitness levels. Walks vary in length from 1.5 to 3 hours, dependent upon the venue and walk location. Unless noted, walks are designed for adults or youth ages 14 and older, and group sizes are limited to 15.
Forest Therapy is not a lengthy nature hike, a naturalist outing, or a substitute for medical treatment. The Forest Therapy Guide works in partnership with their natural surroundings. The guide holds a safe supportive space, finds suitable trails, and natural spaces to best accommodate participants and weather conditions.
It is nature, the forest, and the More Than Human World, that provide the wisdom and healing benefits.
