    2021 Season Starting!

    May 1, 2021 /

    Well, I don’t know about you, but I can certainly de-stress a bit! While we will still be following Covid-related safety protocol, my test runs show that works just fine and does not take away from the experience. Expect to see the first event in mid-May.

    Formally Starting for the 2019 Season

    March 31, 2019 /

    As I type this I am enjoying the sounds of the morning birds – they are reminding me to get things started! I offer forest therapy all year by request and now that the weather is more accommodating to the public, it’s time to formally start regular sessions again! This year I will be following a more regular schedule with a few random events as time provides. Here’s the plan: Hudson Valley: First Sunday and Third Saturday each month NYC: Second Saturday each month I’m also going to be testing out an early morning mindfulness walk and some classes/workshops, so stay tuned! As usual, I will be using different locations…

    Winter 2018-2019 Sessions

    December 27, 2018 /

    We’re still holding sessions during the winter but may not post public sessions until Spring since response tends to be too low. If you want to schedule a session during the weekend feel free to contact us to check availability. Some weekdays available too. Winter sessions are a little different than what I do in warmer weather. When very cold there is more walking and less sitting, but I do aim for frequent short stops with lots of silence. The silence of the woods in winter is quite magical, and you may be surprised at what sounds you CAN hear once you pause a moment.

    Breakneck Ridge Is Staying Open Through Peak Season

    August 6, 2018 /

    While not a prime candidate for forest therapy walks (although I’d accept the challenge for a private session on it!) this may be good to know for the more strenuous hikers in our community. While construction plans for the area nestled between Beacon and Cold Spring are being finalized the trail will remain open for the remainder of the year, to officially begin in early 2019. Besides a new welcome center, planned improvements will include a new twelve-foot wide bike and pedestrian trail between the trailhead and the Metro-North pedestrian walkway, making the trek to the trails in the area much, MUCH safer. Also planned is parallel parking and designated…

    Time to check out Fort Tryon Park

    July 17, 2018 /

    I’ll be in the city Friday, July 20th scouting out spots for forest therapy walks so decided to open the event to our NYC meetup. The plan is to do a forest therapy run through in one of these spots. The Meetup event can be found here: Scouting and trial forest therapy run at Fort Tryon park Friday, Jul 20, 2018, 10:00 AM Entrance of Fort Tryon ParkFort Tryon Park New York, NY 3 Members Attending This is technically intended for me to scout out places to do forest therapy but I think it would be nice to open it up to the group since 1) it is a nice…

    Trial run of Hybrid Forest Therapy – Esopus NY

    July 13, 2018 /

    Technically I was only planning to scout out Black Creek Preserve in Esopus to plan a session here but since I am already bringing a member and doing a full run through of a hybrid hike with forest therapy I may as well open it up to a few others. Just keep in mind I am getting a feel for how to make this all flow so I will be winging this a bit more than usual. Still, it’s a nice walk that leads to the Hudson River, and lots of hemlocks – my favorite tree – so let’s enjoy it! ***There will be hiking – it is considered a relatively…

    First Public Walk on the Calendar!

    July 9, 2018 /

    Time to get things started. Our first Forest Therapy walk in the Hudson Valley area is a 10 minute drive from Cold Spring NY. This is the first official public walk! I’m both nervous and excited since I normally host these events privately. As the first event I am keeping it to an optional donation of $10. What would be really appreciated is your feedback (what worked, what did not work) since I am always looking to improve. RSVP here
