What if spending time in nature could significantly improve your mental and physical well-being? In our latest episode, we explore the transformative practice of forest bathing with our esteemed guest, Kira White, a certified forest therapy guide. With her background in psychology and education, Kira will walk us through how immersing oneself in a forest environment can reduce stress, enhance mood, and promote overall health. Broadcasting from the serene East Foothills of San Jose, we discuss the origins of forest bathing in Japan and its scientifically-backed benefits, emphasizing the importance of reconnecting with nature in our increasingly urbanized lives.
Join us as we uncover the structured yet open-ended process of forest therapy. Guided by certified practitioners, participants embark on a journey that begins with a calming meditation to quiet the mind and awaken the senses. Through a series of gentle invitations, like observing what is in motion, individuals disconnect from daily distractions and connect deeply with the natural world. The experience culminates in a heartfelt council share, fostering vulnerability and community among participants. We also highlight the flexibility of forest therapy, adaptable for diverse group sizes and activities, from leisurely strolls to invigorating hikes.
We also delve into the nuances that set forest bathing apart from traditional hiking. This mindful practice emphasizes presence and connection with nature rather than reaching a destination. We share personal stories of connecting with trees and the therapeutic benefits of spending quiet, intentional time in nature. Discover how forest therapy has gained popularity worldwide, adaptable even in urban settings. Finally, we reflect on the profound personal significance of trees and conclude with a serene reading of Mary Oliver's poem "When I Am Among the Trees," reminding us to slow down and embrace the beauty of the natural world.

It’s not about tackling the island of plastic floating in our oceans it’s about working with a small town in Kenya to create stewardship for their home.
