Forest Bathing Journey with Jen Borrow

Retreat to our serene 5-acre spa retreat in West Sonoma County for a day of transformative self-care.  Your journey begins with a morning of relaxation, including a group cedar enzyme footbath, your choice of a massage or facial, peaceful walking meditation through our bamboo forest, and guided meditation in our renowned Japanese garden.  Next, a nourishing lunch, crafted by a local chef with fresh, wholesome ingredients will be offered in a magical creekside setting beneath the shade of oak and bay trees.

Reconnect with your inner nature while immersing yourself in outer nature. Forest Therapy—also called Shinrin-yoku (Forest Bathing)—helps you reconnect with your senses and invites you to ground into your body. Join Jen Borrow, a certified Forest Therapy guide, as she leads you in opening your senses and deepening your connection with yourself, others, and the natural world.

ABOUT JEN BORROW

Jen Borrow guides Forest Therapy walks as a certified practitioner through the Association for Nature and Forest Therapy. She also holds a Master’s degree in Transpersonal Ecopsychology from Naropa University.

“Forest Therapy has deeply impacted my mind, body, and soul. I’ve seen its profound effects on the people I’ve guided. I never assume to know what kind of medicine nature will offer someone during a walk. There’s no set outcome or path for what anyone ‘should’ experience. Every journey unfolds uniquely. For me, Forest Therapy weaves together everything I’ve studied and learned into one beautiful practice. I feel honored to share it with others.”
