Turning Inward – Autumn Forest Bathing at The Nature Institute

In Partnership with The Nature Institute

At peak color, The Nature Institute’s woodlands glow in golds and reds. This guided Forest Bathing experience invites you to step fully into autumn’s beauty, letting the season’s abundance and release offer you new perspective.

As October draws to a close, the forest begins its quiet shift toward rest. Colors soften, light fades earlier, and the air carries the scent of fallen leaves. Positioned between the Harvest Moon and the November full moon, this walk offers a moment to reflect, release, and find balance in the turning season.

Guided by Certified Forest and Nature Therapy Guide Jess Thenhaus, you’ll be invited to move slowly, notice what the forest is offering, and listen for what’s ready to be let go.

🌿 What to Expect

• Private access to trails alive with autumn color.
• Guided sensory invitations for deep relaxation and presence.
• Space to reflect on the gifts of the season.
  

Nature’s Invitation:

Inspired by Shinrin-Yoku, this is not a hike but a leisurely immersion in the “more than human world.” You’ll leave feeling grounded, restored, and deeply attuned to the rhythm of the season.

What is Forest Bathing?

Inspired by Shinrin-Yoku, the Japanese practice of Forest Bathing, this experience encourages deep relaxation and connection with the natural world. This is not a strenuous hike, but a leisurely, mindful walk designed to help you de-stress and find peace in nature’s rhythms.

Step away from the city, breathe in the fresh spring air, and discover the rejuvenating power of nature.
