About virtual forest bathing
During this time when many of us are experiencing heightened stress, disorientation, and a sense of isolation, this forest bathing walk (conducted virtually via the free video conferencing platform Zoom) offers opportunities to connect to others, to yourself, and to the grace of the natural world. It is guided by a certified forest therapy guide based in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, and you are welcome to join from wherever you are.
Unlike traditional Forest Bathing offerings in which you would meet your guide in person in a designated forested location, these online meetings invite you to join from a safe and familiar outdoor space near you (it can even be your backyard) or from inside your home. Your guide will be on a trail or at a green space on the island of Oʻahu and you’ll be able to experience Hawaiʻi’s natural and healing beauty through your screen. She will be inviting you to tune into your senses, to slow down, and to give your attention to the more-than-human world around you.
Two Styles to try!
Remote Forest Bathing & Virtual Forest Bathing
You can join using phone or internet connection, but prior to the session, you’ll need to download and familiarize yourself with the Zoom app on whatever equipment you’ll be using on the walk: your smartphone, mobile device, or computer.
In remote forest bathing, you can pick a forest, park or even college campus near you that has green spaces and cell phone reception. Then, you can tune into the prompts and follow along on your own personal out-door experience.
In virtual forest bathing, you will zoom from your home PC or phone and experience the beauty of nature through the guide’s camera. Streaming nature sounds, and the experience of the more than human world will come to you! Your guide may ask you to find a place with a window, or perhaps find a natural object (shell, stone, flower) to sit with for your experience.
