Forest Bathing and Nature Therapy programs
Syncing tranquility with Winter's Rhythm
If you're a woman seeking the sanctuary of deep rest and clarity when it comes to boundaries and your relationship with Rest, this retreat is crafted just for you.
It's your opportunity to pause, breathe, and reconnect with yourself in a world that often demands so much.
​
Together, we'll explore the profound concept of Rest and understand its significance in your unique journey.
​
Picture your days filled with the soothing embrace of daily:
Forest Bathing,
Engaging Workshops,
Restorative Yoga,
Yoga Nidra,
and enlightening discussions.
​
You can rest easy knowing that we've got everything covered for you - from meals lovingly prepared to carefully scheduled activities, all you need to do is show up, and we'll take care of the rest
But it doesn't stop when the retreat ends. Your transformation is an ongoing process. We're here to help you integrate your newfound insights into your daily life. Think self-care practices and meaningful rituals that will serve as your compass on this continuous voyage.
​
You'll also have the chance to participate in our monthly Naturepause sessions, maintaining the serenity and growth you've uncovered during your retreat experience.
Check out this video from our past fall retreat. Although the location has changed and the theme was different, it offers a great sense of what to expect.

What women are saying about retreats with Laurence?
-
Do I need any experience in nature therapy or forest bathing?No experience is necessary! I will guide you through each practice while also giving you the opportunity to connect with nature in a way that feels right for you.
-
What is Forest Bathing?Forest Therapy is a research-based practice for supporting healing and wellness through immersion in forests and other natural environments taking in all in through our senses. Studies have demonstrated a wide array of health benefits, especially in the cardiovascular and immune systems, and for stabilizing and improving mood and cognition. Forest Bathing is good for both physical and mental well-being. It is proven to reduce stress hormone production, improve feelings of happiness and free up creativity.
-
What happens if it rains or the weather is bad?If the weather is severe, we will reschedule the session. Light rain can actually enhance the forest bathing experience, so we’ll still meet unless conditions are unsafe. You’ll be notified in advance of any changes. If I need to cancel the session, you can either keep your ticket for the next one or ask for a refund.
-
I’m interested, but I don’t live in your area.I would love for you to come....For obvious reasons, these session are in person but it you are curious about Forest Bathing, please join my online course, "How to Practice Forest Bathing." It includes a full recorded session that you can do in your local state park—or even right in your own backyard! You can check it out here:
-
What is the maximum number of participants?The maximum number of participants allowed in a Nature Therapy walk is 10 to ensure that every participant has time to share and engage fully in the activities.
