Meeting the Moment: A Forest Bathing Retreat
Spend a restorative weekend in Cambria slowing down and reconnecting—with nature, with others, and with yourself. Surrounded by coastal pines, ocean air, and the quiet rhythm of the Central Coast, this retreat invites you to step away from the noise and into a more mindful way of being.
Inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku, or “taking in the medicine of the forest,” this experience is rooted in the simple yet powerful act of immersing yourself in the natural world. Through guided walks, reflection, and shared moments, you’ll discover how time in nature can support relaxation, clarity, and overall well-being.
Throughout the weekend, you’ll:
- Learn the foundations and benefits of forest bathing
- Experience guided forest bathing walks among Cambria’s natural landscapes
- Practice deep listening, reflection, and mindful connection
- Enjoy time for solo contemplation and journaling
- Gather for a grounding tea ceremony
- Extend your practice from forest to coastline
- Create a nature-inspired ritual to take home
Led by certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide Joey, this retreat offers a thoughtful, welcoming space to slow down and reconnect in a deeper way. Set at Camp Ocean Pines, the retreat blends guided experiences with time to unwind and take in the surrounding beauty. From quiet forest paths to expansive coastal views, each moment is designed to help you feel present and restored.
