Thich Nhat Hanh

Bring a different kind of energy to your life and work.

What is it about being close to nature that makes us feel so alive? What magic occurs deep within when we feel the sun’s warmth on our cheeks or hear the witt-witt-witt of summer’s first swallows? With so much anxiety and uncertainty invading our precious days, spending time in natural places holds the possibility of meeting again the essence of who we are, what we would like to be and where those threads weave throughout our relationships in life and at work.

Powerful Medicine

Separation from nature in modern times has caused many physical, psychological and emotional ailments. Do we need to study the science to know being outdoors is good for our mental and physical health? Perhaps not, but It’s easy to forget sometimes that a whole world of powerful medicine really does exist not far from your window and moments away from the digital screens.

Forest Therapy

Forest therapy is an outdoor, guided healing practice, also known as nature therapy. This practice, inspired by the Japanese Shinrin-Yoku (meaning forest bath) focuses on mindfully immersing all five senses in the natural environment. It is effective at preventing disease and emotional imbalance and, over time, is proven to relieve various mental health-related conditions, like depression, anxiety and insomnia and even improves aspects of physical health, like immune and respiratory function.

Spending time in natural places holds the possibility of meeting again the essence of who we are, what we would like to be and how those threads weave together.
