Had such a wonderful time on the Forest Bathing experience today

Had such a wonderful time on the Forest Bathing experience today. It was calming, grounding, and beautifully led. I felt fully immersed in nature in a way I haven't in a long time. The pace was perfect, and the guide created a space that felt both peaceful and welcoming. I left feeling refreshed and more connected- to myself and the natural world. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to slow down and recharge.

Scott took me on a full-day hiking trip in Kannanakis and it was amazing!! Scott was so knowledgeable about the entire area, and it felt like such a personal experience.
