In Shamanism it is believed that "As above so below, As within so without".  The Earth is reflecting the Cosmos through the energies of the cycles of time and the four elements.  These same energies are also playing out in your own body - a Universe within that is sparked by fire, birthed through waters, supported in form and breathing in air.  We can witness the energies of the sun, the moon, the planets and the cycles of time right here on our own planet and in our own bodies. 

Connecting to Mother Nature can help you experience this reflection more fully. Discover the healing therapy of the woods through a guided Forest Therapy experience with a private or intimate group setting.  This amazing experience will tune your senses into the sights, sounds, aroma and messages of the beautiful healing woods and help you witness the reflection of the cosmos.

In our hectic, goal oriented lives we rarely take the time to stop and enjoy our surroundings. We don't pay attention to the smell of the flowers, the soil or the fresh cut grass. The tree leaves wave in the breeze and change their seasonal colors without being truly noticed or appreciated. Nature is calling us. We have a biological need to connect with nature, because we are a part of it, and a mirror to it. Our health improves when we are in nature, and suffers when we deny ourselves of it.   

​

We are a part of the natural world and our rhythms are the rhythms of nature.  When we take the time to slow down and be mindful of our senses we bring our rhythms into step with nature, resetting our nervous system, bringing space within our body to heal and feeling refreshed and restored.

How can the forest help you with all this? The Forests have a higher concentration of oxygen and phytoncides - the natural oils and aerosols that are part of the plant or trees natural defense system. This concentration of oxygen and phytoncides provide a rich environment for your body to absorb all of its healing qualities.

​

In a Forest Therapy session you will be guided to engage all of your senses - taste, touch, sight, hearing, feeling. Mindfully engaged as you walk, journal and reflect, you will be focusing on allowing nature to help you access your own inner wisdom as you simultaneously listen to the wisdom of the woods. During a private session you will be led through a focused mediation and receive Reiki energy healing while in the woods.
