Forest Therapy #01 - What is ’it’?

Treespeed; forest bathing with Highland Quietlife

Cath, the Moose and why do we want to guide Forest Therapy?

At the turn of 2020, we started individual journeys of training and personal development... what actually came along was laughter, tears, self-healing and an awesome friendship. With one of us (me) in the Scottish Highlands and the other some 7,000 miles away in British Columbia, we have walked alongside each other in our forests and on our trails, as we've trained to become Forest Therapy Guides with the ANFT. Words may sometimes get lost in translations from British to Canadian and we many head off topic and meander back eventually, but we've a shared understanding of the healing power of nature; those big old Granny trees and the beauty of early morning light as it slices through the forest.

In our first podcast we discuss just how we heard about Forest Therapy, why we wanted to become guides and just what is the 'it' we talk about.
