Nature Walk & Creative Exploration

What is involved in the Nature Walk?

Another name for this type of nature walk is “Forest Bathing”. Rooted in the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku, forest bathing is about being fully present in nature, rather than simply passing through it. Through gentle guidance, you’ll slow down and engage your senses—listening to the sounds around you, noticing patterns in the landscape, and experiencing the textures and scents of the earth. Studies show that spending mindful time in nature reduces stress, boosts creativity, and enhances well-being.

What is Creative Exploration?

After your nature immersion, you’ll gather materials—leaves, stones, bark, or other elements that call to you—to create a nature-inspired design. This could be a simple pattern, a nature altar, or an organic arrangement that represents your experience. While similar to a mandala, there are no rules—this is a personal, intuitive process meant to deepen your connection with the space around you.
