What is Nature Immersion?

Nature Immersion is inspired by the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku.  It is a guided experience that allows you to slow down while connecting with the natural world, your team, and with yourself. 

During a Nature Immersion experience you will be guided by Julie Jansen, a certified Forest Therapy Guide with the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy.  Julie will offer a series of accessible, mindful invitations to explore your chosen natural environment with care and appreciation.  Each invitation is crafted to connect you with your team, and to connect your senses to the natural world.  After each invitation there will be a round of sharing with your colleagues to open communication and dialog. 

Nature Immersion is balanced between exploring nature and being in community with your team.  A Nature Immersion experience lasts around two hours, which is the amount of time needed to receive the research-based health benefits of spending time outside.  During each part of the walk you are encouraged to discover what the natural world has to offer in the moment.

Allow nature to inspire new ways of thinking and collaborating together.
