The Healing Forest
For thousands of years our ancestors lived and thrived in the wilderness. Endless grasslands, dense forests and vast stretches of green were an integral part of a place we called home.
However, in today’s fast and feverish world, our green spaces have been replaced by concrete cities, indoor lifestyles and addictive technology. This unnatural change affects our body and mind in many negative ways. We have seen that anxiety, stress, depression, burnout, chronic illnesses along with lifestyle ailments are on the rise. Also as a society, there is an increase in anger, addictions, intolerance, apathy, and loneliness.
Well-being for Self, Others, Nature.
Let’s see what nature can do for you and those who matter to you. Countries around the world are uncovering scientific proof about nature’s healing effects. Japan and South Korea have even created many healing forests where they practice forest bathing or healing forest walks. For our overloaded minds and overworked bodies, nature can yield surprising results.

Thank you for the extraordinary way you capture and convey the energy of the forest, and for your obvious devotion to our beautiful Earth and its forests. Your videos bring back the energy of the forest, they breathe it back to life in my heart, reigniting my connection and love of the woods. I moved to the wooded foothills of the Sierra Nevada for a year after a 3 year nervous breakdown, where I walked the forest paths every night until 2, 3, or even 5 a.m. I would consciously open every cell in my body to receive the energy of the Earth, the trees, the sky, and the moon. I let my heart run free and wild with delight and the constant revelation of the divine pouring through the natural world around me. Here is a poem I wrote,
Morning Light
The morning spreads its sweet gold
over a broadleaf sea of forest oak,
Spinning white, angel-haired wonder through the pine.
Like the trees, I will spread my leaves
in silent welcome,
Opening every cell
to receive the warm, quiet rush
of the new day.

Hello again, Nitin,
I wonder if you or anyone on your team might be interested in reviewing my memoir when it is released in October? It maps my inner journey to the Sierra Nevada forest, where I would walk the woods at night, often until dawn. Here is a brief description, if that helps: Entering the River Naked: Field Notes from the Feminine Wild is a memoir mapping the wilds of one woman’s heart in relentless pursuit of the sacred. Through evocative dreams, poetry and journal pieces, author Ann Shannon faces down her core angst, failing marriage, and misery in her career on her way to the Sierra Nevada forest. There, she begins nightly sojourns through the woods that often last until dawn. As Shannon lays claim to a majestic and tender new life that mirrors the ecstatic beauty of the Earth and sky around her, she offers exhilarating glimpses into the power of nature and the unbridled feminine to inform and to heal. (I don’t mean to presume anything…I just want to check. It is a intimate personal story celebrating the beauty and healing available us in the forest.) Thank you, Ann
