Supporting students and community with effective and restorative centering skills.
About Us
Our team is based in Sonoma County and brings together certified restorative nature therapy practitioners, environmental educators, art therapists, and emotional support specialists.
What We Do
We focus on guiding students, professionals, and community members through experiential practices that engage the body’s natural ability to restore balance and equilibrium through breath, movement, energy, and sensory connection to nature’s restorative influences.
​
Backed by decades of research and studies, these accessible experiences provide a vital counterbalance to overstimulation from modern life, current affairs and device dependency. They strengthen the body’s innate self-regulation skills, promoting physiological and emotional well-being.
Whom We Serve
Through our school programs, professional development days, community walks, and retreat enhancements, we offer engaging, enjoyable, and meaningful experiential learning and awareness to the local community.
How We Do It
Utilizing the decades of scientific research and increased awareness developed in the Japanese Shinrin Yoku practice, we offer experiential and nature related sensory engagement; breathing techniques, movement and presence awareness. Through grade appropriate, on-campus and on-trail sessions, we enable students to individually experience and deepen their own relationship to nature and the nature of their wellness.
The Beneficial Aspects
Experiencing a conscious quality of presence and connection with nature on a regular basis, you can help your body and mind cope with the stresses of the everyday world.
A 15 minute sensory practice on your patio or a walk around the block can be an effective respite. Engaging these ‘sensory reset skills’ enhances our ability to restore calm and presence in the moment. Also effective for students of any age and grade level.
​
A guided full immersion into the forests, coastline trails or meadows is shown to restore a beneficial quality of constitutional wellness that can be measured for up to two weeks.​ (you can read more about the science on the "Further Info" Page)
