Nature has the incredible ability to hold space for healing and personal growth. These programs are specifically designed to guide individuals towards a renewal of self awareness that fosters wellness, resiliency and rejuvenation.
“I just completed a 6 week course on the Forest Bathing Life app and I’m excited to subscribe to the rest of the content. With the help of the app, I’ve finally been able to develop a consistent practice for engaging with the natural world. Each practice has left me feeling calm, grounded, and centered and this has had a positive effect on all other aspects of my life.”

“I am so grateful to create more roots into nature. Duncan was an amazing and authentic guide who helped me tap deeper into the senses to take on all the glory nature gives. I learned a lot about my own relationship and reciprocity with nature and myself within the web of life and death. it couldn’t have come at a better time as nature grounded my during all these changes with the pandemic. I love the way I got to connect to others who also share love for nature. It was deep and intimate despite it being an app”
– Kim
Duncan has an energy and a syllabic rhythm which I found inviting and also effective in facilitating nature connection. I found his ability to transmit and translate also transcended the electronic media I have used to access his work since quarantine.

“My experiences with the audio edition of the guided walks were very relaxing and therapeutic as I always felt at home and welcome during Duncan’s practices. I would highly recommend these programs and practices for anyone seeking to strengthen their connections with the world around us.”

“Beautiful course:-) Don’t think twice, just listen with your heart and jump right into the course and then straight into nature in your own home. I was a bit sceptical if a online course taught from inside could inspire you to get outside, or help you connect with your senses and nature. But it sure did. Duncan has a really soothing voice and a lot of mindful wisdom that takes you right into your heartspace, into your own nature and the journey of wondering, exploration and magic begins. I have always loved nature, but now I have some more “tools” to connect even deeper . Thank you so much!”

“If you want to feel at ease Duncan can support you in many ways as he invites you to awaken your senses and helps tether you moment to moment to the richness and wonders of Nature. You might also find that amidst the forest trees you rediscover your inner child playing right beside you as you fall back into relationship with yourself. Forest bathing is medicine that tastes so good.”
~JoAnne D.
“I found my experience with Duncan and forest bathing like a returning to the place within where I am connected to all. What a gift to return to this sacred place within. I also found my heart opened wider for the earth and for those who shared their hearts in the group.”
~Kim G.
Developing your relationship with Nature
Hello! Duncan here, Certified Nature & Forest Therapy Guide since 2015. I’m proud to say I was in the VERY FIRST cohort of guides trained in the United States. At the time, hardly anybody knew what forest bathing was and now it seems like the whole world knows about it and all of the amazing benefits that nature provides to us.
I have guided hundreds of people on forest bathing walks in VT and NYC, guided in a “Forest Bathing Room” and have developed on-line experiences with over 1,500 students from around the globe. It is my absolute pleasure to be offering this Forest Bathing Life app so that I can connect to people like you- wherever you are in this world!
So! think of this app as having your very own Certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide (that’s me!) and an expanding community of forest bathers alike in your pocket! I am here to give some gentle nudging and reminding to live the way you TRULY want to live. It takes action, patience, curiosity, and a certain willingness to embrace the unknown. And you don’t have to do this alone. There is also a special power that comes with sharing your connection to nature with others and you’ll find this all here:)
What you need is a practice, a guide and a community to help you walk the path of nature connectedness. So much of nature connection is time. Time logged outdoors and being in a special state of mind. I want to guide you to create a different routine, a different way of seeing and interacting with the world. There is so much awe, so much simplicity, complexity, beauty and intrigue waiting for you to discover. The practice of forest bathing is the path that awaits you.
This app is designed to deepen your relationship to the natural world by establishing and integrating the practice of Forest Bathing into your daily life. Would you like to connect to nature while taking care of their wellbeing while combating feelings of stress and anxiety? Are you ready to take the steps towards feeling more peace and connection with nature this transformative practice? Then this is your time!

“There were many benefits to my time spent getting in touch with my senses and their interaction with the forest. I primarily felt a deep sense of peace and a relaxed state of mind, which remained with me long after the session ended. I also gained some new awareness of the world around me and am eager to develop these skills further. Several experiences from my walk with Duncan have stuck with me as I have begun to integrate the practices into my daily life. I highly recommend spending time with Duncan in the forests of Vermont and I look forward to doing it again!”
“A really lovely experience getting closer to nature, and quieting the inner worlds. Duncan lead the meditation with grace and pure heart. Would definitely recommend giving this a try.
After the walk I was in a state of peace and serenity, feeling relaxed and connected. One of my favorite moments was during our “smell” exercise, gathering different plants and organic materials and sharing in the sensations of the world around us – such beautiful and simple pleasure.
Has my connection to nature or to myself been altered? While maybe not in a significant way from one morning of meditations, the part that this type of work plays in my ongoing process of deepening these connections is clear.”
“We really enjoyed our forest bathing walk with Duncan. He really helped me bring attention to all the senses I forget to activate while walking. I particularly loved bringing my attention to the sounds and smells of the forest. It’s amazing how many things we don’t notice when we just experience the world with our eyes.”
“Thanks Duncan for leading us through this wonderful experience today. I really enjoyed all of the invitations, especially the one where we reconnected to our child-self.”
“What a great group! Duncan did an amazing job – this is much more than just a walk in nature. We did different ‘exercises’ that got us truly connecting with the rocks, plants, trees and waterfalls. We used all of our senses, and there were several times where we could share our observations and thoughts with the group if we chose to… Highly recommend!”
“Had a great time! The autumn colors were beautiful. I hope Duncan does a walk this winter after a fresh snow fall! – that would be awesome!”
“Thank you for sharing this beautiful experience Duncan. You are a mindful facilitator.”
“It was really special today. Thanks Duncan For organizing this! And we learned that cold is only in our mind- a survival instinct”
“The walk was very relaxing and fun! The most beautiful things were the lovely irises and the raccoon (although I nearly freaked out! ha, ha)”
“The process is more important than the destination.”
“Immersive and beautiful sensory experience… Thank you Duncan for bringing us all together to experience all the connections together and individually. Unique walk!”
