“I had such a wonderful experience with Nature Walks Rx. Darcy was so inviting and knowledgable. I went into the adventure with a bit of hesitancy as I wasn’t sure what to expect. What I found was my own inner child again. As Darcy invited us into experiences, I found myself fidgety at first, as I meditated in the beautiful Redwoods I found a peace I hadn’t experienced since I was a child. Looking at the clovers and discovering the beauty and LIFE in the forest reminded me of a time I used to relish in nature. Picking 4 leaf clovers, eating grass and climbing trees was, at a time, the most important thing in my life. Wow, how I’ve forgotten but longed for those simpler times. I highly recommend a forest bathing experience with Nature Walks Rx. Leave your cellphone and all your cares behind, and discover what might just be missing in your life!!!”

“I recently participated in one of NatureWalksRx sessions in the redwood forest and it was an awe-inspiring experience! It really made me slow down and become consciously immersed in the sounds, smells, sight, and feel of the forest. I’ve worked my whole life in the outdoors, and have a deep appreciation and love for nature, but even so, I gained something through shinrin-yoku, that perhaps I forgot or got too busy to notice. It’s that amazement one feels beholding nature, its the healing and peace that come from not having a destination or goal while in the forest (as we often do on hikes, exercise runs, or work outings), it’s simply being fully aware and involved in the surroundings; the flight of the insect, the smell of the duff, the feel of the moss. This therapy is just as much for the outdoors people as well as those new to nature.”
