Nature Immersion Forest Bathing
“Deep in the Forest I stroll…To hear the Wisdom of my Soul.”- Anonymous
Join us for… “A gentle, meditative approach to being in Nature and an anti-dote to our nature-starved lives that can heal our relationship with the more-than-human world.”
– M. Amos Clifford
Come join us for a morning or afternoon of unwinding the stress of modern day living from your body, mind and psyche.
Be with Nature in this intentional space and discover your sense of Self again.
During this 3 hour event, you will be guided through various Forest Bathing activities + Sensory Awareness & Primary Satisfaction activities in the heart of the forest while having lots of fun too.
We all know time in nature is never time wasted and can absolutely leave you feeling completely refreshed, calm, and happy, but there is so much more going on when we are outside than we might even realize.
The Japanese have been studying this for years and have found spending a few hours outside immersed in your senses and awareness of your natural surroundings can be extremely beneficial for our health in the following ways:
Reduces blood pressure
Lowers stress
Helps you to lose weight
Lowers blood-sugar level
Boosts the immune system with an increase in the count of the body’s natural killer (NK) cells
We hope you will join us for this amazing event, be in community, and experience the benefits for yourself.
Where: Montgomery County, Md – Exact location will be emailed to registrants before the event.

Your Guide: Laura spent her childhood summers camping and hiking in the old forests of Minong, Wisconsin where pine trees grow as far and tall as the eyes can see. These childhood summers nurtured her love for the outdoors and connection to nature. Her education and cultivated background in
Yoga, herbal medicine and natural wellness, led her to study and obtain a Masters degree and license in Chinese Medicine, which is entirely based on the laws, cycles, and rhythms of Nature.
Laura has always found that time spent in Nature equals greater health and happiness. A life-long learner, her passion for a deeper nature connection led her to the Wilderness Awareness School in Duvall, WA where she was taught among other things, how to hone awareness skills in the outdoors. She has since spent time outside of her office being an outdoor instructor for the Young Naturalist Homeschool program at Ancestral Knowledge, guiding children through Nature Based learning and Coyote Mentoring.
Laura is so happy to share her mentoring and nature based skill set to help foster that wild, playful, and intrinsically connected nature within us all. Initiating deep nature connection and fostering respect, confidence and knowledge in the wild that surrounds us and is a part of us is a great passion for Laura and she loves to share this sacred part of existence with humans of all ages. Laura is First Aid Certified.
