Wilderness Retreats

“Remember the earth whose skin you are …” –Joy Harlo
Every transformational journey is at its heart a quest for wholeness. We long to feel a part of the vast and unfolding mystery of life. We yearn to feel alive, engaged. We are seeking our place and our purpose. 

What better place to take this inquiry than to the Earth herself?

The wilderness calls us to be with life’s messiness, to relinquish our desire to control what is happening, and enter whole-heartedly into life’s unfolding.

My wilderness retreats, pilgrimages and adventures guide you to radically surrender to your own Wild & Wise Heart, and immerse yourself into the wisdom of nature so that you can:
​
  • find deeper connection with yourself and others
  • increase your creative expression
  • reconnect with your playful and imaginative inner child 
  • deepen your spiritual life
  • uncover your calling
  • increase your relationship with abundance 
“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. … There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature — the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.” —Rachel Carson, Silent Spring ​

Forest Bathing (broadened to: Nature Bathing)

What is Forest Bathing?  In 1982, the Forest Agency of the Japanese government premiered its shinrin-yoku plan. In Japanese shinrin means forest, and yoku, although it has several meanings, refers here to a “bathing, showering or basking in.” More broadly, it is defined as “taking in, in all of our senses, the forest atmosphere.” The program was established to encourage the populace to get out into nature, to literally bathe the mind and body in greenspace, and take advantage of public owned forest networks as a means of promoting health.* (*Mother Earth News, Your Brain on Nature.)

Although the Japanese coined the term "forest bathing" specifically for forests, more and more research shows the benefits of nature immersion in all her manifestations. Here on the northwest end of the Olympic Peninsula of WA State, we are fortunate to have access to many ecosystems. There are the three diverse ecosystems Olympic National Park is famous for: sub-alpine forest and wildflower meadows, temperate rain forests, and rugged ocean beaches. But we also have access to the marine waters and tidepools of the Straits of Juan de Fuca, the ever-changing Elwha River estuary,  grasslands, riparian areas, and a variety of freshwater wetlands.

The practice of forest bathing can be broadened to include taking in, with all of our senses, nature ... or "nature bathing", as I coined it.

Join me for private or small group Nature Bathing experiences on the Olympic Peninsula.
