Despite all of our enthusiastic metaphor, water is NOT included in your session… unless it’s raining!
You can expect to be guided through three hours of forest bathing. The land that we are on is a mix of oak savannah (in restoration) as well as forest… therefore your experience might be more of a nature bath across meadows, rolling hills, and woods. And in the interest to feel into the full energetic spectrum of awareness and attunement, solo “baths”, partner “hot springs”, and group activity “onsen” will all be offered. Each inviting their own dynamic pathway to cleansing and connection.
We will invite you to slow down and feel into the present moment, allowing your time bathing to be one free of cell phones and obligations. We ask that you drop into your activated senses, open your heart and body to the soothing rhythms of the natural world, and cleanse your spirit of the stress and burden that can often lead to disconnection from feeling your best.
When I think of slipping into a nice warm, suds-filled, and scented bath, I feel my senses begin to awaken, my breath deepen, and my tensions ease. Wanting to set you up for a nurturing sensory experience, we will offer some imaginative “salts, suds, and essences” to support the making of your own warm and gentle forest bath.
Scrubbing Salts: You will be invited to select one of the eight directions (E,SE,S,SW,W,NW,N,NE) to infuse your experience with its regenerative qualities and attributes in order to shed blockages and restore sense of self.
Soothing Suds: Cleanse your nervous system by choosing a nature being (kin) whose spirit energy you wish to align with and embody. Allow yourself to relax into the gentle movements and patterns of the natural world and revitalize your physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional stresses and kinks.
Elemental Essences: Choose one of the four elements to enliven your space and anchor your awareness and intention. Whether earth, water, fire, or air, connecting to one of these eternal elements of nature will awaken energy, promote clarity, and support your cleanse for the day.
