Ready to reconnect with nature?

When was the last time you were able to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the world and be truly present in nature? How long has it been since you sat and listed to a bird singing, marveled at the intricacy of a leaf, or watched bees and butterflies buzzing around a patch of flowers?

Nature and Forest Therapy, also called Forest Bathing or “Shinrin-Yoku,” is about slowing down, reconnecting to the healing power of nature, and rebuilding a connection with the earth.

Studies have shown that forest therapy can decrease stress and anxiety, boost your immune system, and improve your brain’s ability to focus.

Given the benefits of forest therapy, we think it should be as easy to find a forest bathing experience as it is to find a nearby yoga class!

This site is a collaborative project designed as a “hub” to help you easily find Forest Bathing experiences near Kansas City and connect you with Certified Forest Therapy Guides in the area.

Each guide manages their own event registrations and communications about their events. Event listings will link to the appropriate registration site, and feel free to reach out to the individual guides directly for any questions.
