About the event
The Japanese call it Shin-Rin Yoku. The Germans, Waldeinsammkeit. Whatever our culture, immersing one’s senses in a living, breathing forest is a naturally restorative and therapeutic experience.
Step away from the stresses of everyday life to rejuvenate and heal your nervous system amidst the rich natural environments Oregon has to offer. Whether you’re seeking a mindful escape from the noise or the confidence to gather edible wild plants and mushrooms for food, my guided foraging & forest bathing tours provide an informative and transformative sense of belonging in the natural world, connecting mind, body, and soul with not only the forest, but the other humans who’ll share this experience with you.
Details:
On a 3-4-hour tour blending outdoor education and group meditation, I’ll guide you and your group through mindful explorations of a public woodland, providing practical info while also slowing down to experience nature’s calming effects. This edition will focus on identifying and harvesting common edible spring greens like nettles, miner's lettuce, wood sorrel, and more.
Learn ethical principles for how to safely identify and harvest wild edible/medicinal plants and mushrooms, deepen your understanding of forest ecosystems, and gain hands-on cultural knowledge that reconnects you to the land. Depending on seasonal availability, tours will also include fresh-brewed wild tea, personalized recipes, and the chance to bring home whatever wild edibles we gather.
Blending silent reverence and spontaneous play, each journey is a feast for all senses through the textures, flavors, sights, sounds, and stories hidden in the forest.
