"Went with family, including a teenager. I thought this would be a great way to start our weekend trip with some calm intention – and it was! As it was my idea, not everyone was excited about doing this to begin with, but then each person was won over during the experience. Forest bathing was freeing and so peaceful. It was our favorite part of our trip to Santa Cruz. I am so glad for this experience. I feel like I have been connecting more deeply with nature since."

"My family and I booked a forest bath (Forest Bathing experience) with Alex for Thanksgiving Day, 2024, and it turned out to be one of the most meaningful ways we’ve ever spent the holiday. It gave us space to reflect on the land, imagine how Indigenous people may have experienced it, and reconnect with the natural world in a respectful, grounded way. Each of us walked away with something lasting—including a greater ability to stay present and a sense of serenity that continues to center us in other parts of our lives."

"Alexander did a wonderful job as host. He engaged our family of four with two teenagers in a thoughtful contemplative 2-hour forest walk. His lesson was to show us new ways to experience the wonders and beauty of nature by incorporating all our senses – forest bathing with meditation. We appreciated all Alexander had to offer and highly recommend his mindfulness walk."
