Gardiner New York 12525 USA
I am a Certified Forest Therapy guide through the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy, a Certified Mindful Outdoor Guide through Kripalu's School of Mindful Outdoor Leadership, as well as a certified yoga instructor. I founded my group Mind The Forest to provide mindful outdoor experiences and forest bathing programs to the public through local parks and preserves, and for corporate retreats. Finding myself several years ago increasingly disconnected from nature while I worked as a corporate attorney with a long commute, I changed my focus to more time in nature, shifting to part-time legal work so I could pursue my passion of mindful nature connection. My mission is to inspire all humans to build relationships with the natural world, to cultivate one's innate wisdom, and to bring the spirit of reciprocity to all encounters with the human and more-than-human world. Just as a dandelion seed disperses carried by the wind, my goal is to spread the beautiful practice of forest bathing by planting this seed with others.
