Are you looking to slow down and de-stress? Are you wanting deep in-person connection? Or perhaps you know spending time outdoors is good for you but struggle finding the time to commit to getting outside? Then our guided Forest Therapy walks are for you. Intentionally Outdoors invites you back to nature, connection and community.

Join Intentionally Outdoors on a 2 hour guided Forest Therapy walk in Grant Park. Walks take place Fridays and Saturdays. Our walks are designed for adults aged 18 and older. Please register and pay in advance, as only registered participants can join. These gentle and restorative walks are designed for all activity levels and usually cover less than one mile.

What is Forest Therapy? Forest Therapy, inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku or forest bathing, involves immersing yourself in nature through all five senses. A certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide leads you through a series of sensory based invitations that encourage mindful interactions with nature. These walks are not a traditional hike, exercise or naturalist walk, instead Forest Therapy focuses on nurturing your relationship with nature and yourself, fostering relaxation and rejuvenation. It is a practice where we slow down, awaken our senses and reconnect to the land.

If these public walks are not a convenient time for you feel free to reach out to Intentionally Outdoors. We offer private walks where we can find a time and place that is convenient for you or your group.
