Does forest bathing work here in the desert?
Yes, it does! Our juniper and pinyon trees emit the same phytoncides as all other trees and by spending time with them, our bodies will breathe in this ‘aromatherapy of the forest.’

 

How strenuous is it?
Not strenuous at all. In fact, we move quite slowly across the land, giving us time to notice things we normally miss.

 

How structured is it?
Very loosely. After a brief introduction, I'll offer a series of invitations — ways to awaken your senses and interact with the land, the plants, the sky, etc. If you want to do something else, you may. We gather back together every 10-15 minutes for a very brief, optional sharing.

 

What should I wear?
Comfortable clothing, ideally a layer or two, a hat for sun protection, and easy walking shoes. I advise sunscreen, too. I will provide a few snacks.
