Screen Time Can't:
Genuine Rejuvenation
Our guided forest immersion experiences in the Santa Cruz redwoods reduce stress, spark creativity, and re-establish a sense of connection that deeply supports individuals and teams

What to Expect
The Experience
Before
We discuss your team's challenges and objectives for this experience so it can be tailored to you.
Forest Bathing
- We spend 2.5-3 hours engaged in the redwood forest.
- Enriched with mindfulness, yoga, and meditation practices.
After the Experience
Your team leaves with (1) practical tools for stress management and (2) a renewed sense of connection to themselves and each other.
Why a Guide Matters
A walk in the woods can be relaxing—but a guided forest bathing experience is intentionally designed to be transformative. A trained guide ensures a structured, mindful flow that taps into proven benefits: stress reduction, sensory immersion, and renewed connection. Without guidance, participants often default to distraction or chatter. With a guide, your team is invited into deep presence, meaningful insight, and lasting impact—making this more than a break—it’s a shared, wellness-driven experience.

What Teams Say
"My employees and I did a forest bathing session with Alex as a team-building exercise. We have a diverse staff with different ages, interests, and fitness levels, and forest bathing was enjoyable for everyone. It was a fun change of scenery for our team and allowed us to take part in an event together that was calming and in a beautiful location. I would highly recommend forest bathing to anyone looking for a unique way to engage their employees. We found it beneficial, not only on a personal level, but as a group. We will definitely be coming back!"

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my team think this is too alternative?
Our approach to forest bathing, mindfulness, and yoga practices is customized to the group we are guiding. This is why our discussion during the booking process is important, so that we can tailor your experience directly to your team. This is an incredibly accessible experience and we focus on practical activities that everyone can feel the impact of.
Do we have time for this?
These experiences, lasting from 2.5-4 hours, deliver benefits that last at minimum weeks. Teams that participate in forest bathing find that the time investment is incredibly small as compared to the benefits they experience.
What if some team members aren't outdoorsy?
Our locations are easily accessible, and we are experienced in working with different comfort levels. Many "non-outdoorsy" people discover connections to the forest that they didn't know were possible.
