Nature Based Mindfulness
Slow down in order to observe more.
Our goal is to help you escape into nature, a little bit everyday. Whether it’s long walks in the woods or sitting on your front steps at home. The purpose is to get everyone tuned into the natural environment, no matter where you are.
Are you ready to enjoy more "nature feelings" in your everyday life? That wonder, awe, freedom and freshness — at home, in between your trips to the forests, rivers, mountains, ocean? Do you wish you could infuse more nature into your regular self-care practices? Would you like to learn how to heighten your experience outdoors so that the goodness can be more long-lasting? If you said yes, to any of these questions you are in the right place!
5 Minutes Outside
We challenge you to try and spend 5 minutes outside everyday. While five minutes might not seem like much, taking the time for yourself and intentionally going outside can make a difference. It can be as simple as sitting on your steps, walking the dog or even walking neighborhood. Anything outside is a success. #5minutesoutside

Forest Bathing
Forest Bathing. Shinrin-yoku. Forest Therapy. Many names for the medicine of being in the forest. It refers to the practice of spending time in forested areas for the purpose of enhancing health, wellness, and happiness. Practicing Forest Bathing produces lower levels of the stress hormone Cortisol in the blood system, indicating a reduction in stress. The practice follows the general principle that it is beneficial to spend time in the atmosphere of the forest.

I have been in both situations and have benefited from the generosity of countless people along my journey. This is a way to continue to be a part of that stream. We can find a good match for what you are looking for, and if your funds are flowing strongly right now and you would like to sponsor this program for others, I will also offer that opportunity to you.
