Nature and Forest Immersion
“Nature itself is the best physician.” - Hippocrates
Sink into the softness of the forest floor.
Sit awhile and breathe with the trees.
Experience the sacred alchemy of a transformative forest and nature connection
here in beautiful western Massachusetts. In person or remotely.
Humans evolved from nature, therefore we are nature. Coniferous trees - hemlock, pine, cedar, fir, redwood, juniper, spruce, yew - emit chemicals called phytoncides that improve our wellbeing, enhance immunity, reduce stress, regulate heart rate variability, reduce cortisol, decrease anxiety and depressive symptoms, improve sleep, and more.
See my Resource section for scientific studies on the health benefits of nature and forest immersion.
“Most of us have not learned the art of stillness in nature. When the forest is allowed its place within you, it supports your body’s natural capacity for wellness and healing”. - Amos Clifford
