forest bathing on the farm
join Zach Rissman on the farm for a morning of Forest Bathing. this is a 2-hour, deeply immersive, guided experience designed to help you slow down and open to a state of true receptivity to the natural world. through facilitated exercises and guided invitations, connect with and experience nature in a way that is different from how most of us typically interact with the woods. this approach allows us to experience deep rest, relaxation, presence, and receptivity, allowing the forest to open our minds and hearts and infuse us with both healing energy and medicinal compounds.
what to expect:
this guided experience will last about two hours. it will consist of a welcome circle, grounding exercises, a series of interactive invitations, and a closing circle, as well as periodic opportunities for group sharing. this experience is deeply personal and encourages an intimacy with the forest that is nourishing and specific to each participant. as we will be moving very slowly and mindfully, we will likely not travel more than a ½ mile and people of all fitness levels and bodily conditions are welcome to join. please bring weather-appropriate clothing and an open mind!
