Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, USA
Hi. I'm Justin (he/they). I am a queer interspiritual forest bathing guide, Earth poet, apprentice & chaplain to the More-Than-Human beings with whom I am in community. My spouse Craig and I live along the banks of the 300 millon year old Susquehanna River in Central Pennsylvania with our dogs Yeshe (whose name means "Wisdom") and Benny. Our rescue dogs have been important spiritual companions and meditation buddies for me. Our home is on the path of Canada Geese and White Egret flight to and from the creek to the river. Silver Maple in our backyard is the World Tree and home of a vibrant squirrel and winged community.
Why I engage this sacred practice of guiding relational forest bathing...
The heart of this sacred practice for me is a dance of compassion, joy and simply being humans together with all beings. The "being human thing" in our wondrous embodiment as Earth in relationship with Earth is an amazing and challenging invitation! My approach weaves together poetry, mindfulness and a contemplative approach to help you connect in your own way to Mother Earth/Nature/Creation.
