Dear Friends: It has been a little while since I have posted about our 2025 ‘Forest Therapy Retreats.’ But they remain on track, and I am greatly looking forward to them! The first: May 29–June 1. The second: Sept. 12–15. In each case, we will seek the quiet counsel of rocks, woods, and waters, in a realm where every tree is a teacher and every breeze a language. In times of stress and anxiety, amid the rush and distractions of our daily lives, it is easy to lose track of our connections—to green and growing things. To the good and perennial cycles of life. To that very same life within us.

For me, it has always seemed that the forest is one of the best places to rediscover such things. To reconnect. To slow down and feel what John Muir called, ‘the good tidings of the trees.’

Our May workshop has only two spots left. September has a few more. I’d love to spend a few days with you in the forest, seeking out the things worth finding. Forest bathing, nature journaling, stillness meditation, and a lot more. Please see the link below for details, curriculum, and registration. And I’ll see you in the woods.
