Forest Bathing
Shinrin-yoku, or “forest bathing,” is a Japanese practice that means to take in the forest with your whole being—to let the sights, sounds, scents, and stillness of nature wash over you. Born in Japan in the 1980s as a form of preventive medicine, it has since become a cherished pathway to healing and wholeness.
Forest bathing gently invites you to slow down, unplug, and step into presence. Through guided mindfulness and sensory awareness, you’re led into a quieter rhythm—one where you can hear the whispers of the wind, feel the aliveness of the Earth, and reconnect with the deeper truth of who you are.
Science now confirms what many have long felt in their bones: time in nature can ease anxiety and depression, lower blood pressure, improve sleep, boost immunity, and restore a sense of calm. Much like yoga or meditation, forest bathing can be even more powerful when shared in community and supported by a trained guide. And once you’ve learned the way, it’s a practice you can return to again and again—anywhere trees or wild places are waiting.

Who We Are
EcoWisdom was born in 2017, rooted in Jenny Harrow-Keeler’s personal healing journey and her reverence for the natural world as a teacher, mirror, and medicine. As a certified Nature & Forest Therapy Guide with a Master’s in Integrative Health Studies, Jenny has spent years exploring how ancient earth-based practices and modern science can meet—how mindfulness, somatic awareness, and time in nature can help us remember who we are beneath the noise.
Her Master's thesis focused on forest bathing not just as a calming practice, but as a deeply restorative one—one that supports nervous system regulation, strengthens resilience, and reconnects us to something greater than ourselves. When we enter the forest with presence and intention, our stress hormones lower, our heart rate softens, and the parasympathetic nervous system—responsible for rest, healing, and regeneration—awakens. Mindfulness amplifies this process, helping us shift out of fight-or-flight and into a grounded sense of safety, wonder, and belonging.
EcoWisdom exists to offer these kinds of experiences—gentle, sacred pauses where people can slow down, listen deeply, and feel themselves held by something vast and wise. It’s a space where science and soul come together, where ancient ways of knowing are honored, and where the forest becomes not just a backdrop, but a co-guide on the path home.
