Forest Bathing is a practice that supports health and wellness through guided immersion in forests and other environments to promote the well-being of both people and the land. It is inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku. Forest Bathing provides a pathway for people to remember how to immerse themselves in nature to rest from all that consumes them in their modern daily lives. This practice can provide calmness, relaxation and an overall feeling of bliss. We'll begin with a brief introduction to the land and health benefits of the practice. Then for over 2 hours, we'll gently move through a series of invitations while relaxing and walking in the forest. The sequence of invitations are simple but mindfully created to help you become present and build a meaningful relationship with nature. You will have an opportunity to be silent, walk, sit and share. The practice ends with a tea gathering experience that involves locally foraged plants and small bites of organic food. Awaken your senses, slow down and make a deep connection to one of the most beautiful forests in Pennsylvania. Join me... come along on a journey in partnership with nature. Other things to note Restrooms are available inside the Visitor Center. Enter the main entrance and the bathrooms are located on the left.

Great family experience as well as couples and friend groups. We will meet at Haak's School House in Germansville off of RT 309 and you will follow my car to the parking zone near the trail entrance. We will enjoy about 1 hour of total hiking along a sometimes rough rocky trail. My favorite part is the climb up a giant bolder formation with some deep crevasses to summit the most beautiful panoramic vista! We can then take 30-45 minutes to traverse the boulders and enjoy a picnic before climbing down and hiking out of the forest. Activity Waiver to be signed prior to hike. Please plan to arrive by 10:00AM sharp and not later than 10:15AM. Arrival after 10:15AM will result in cancellation without refund as a courtesy to your host and fellow hikers who will have been waiting. Other things to note This is a great hike for individuals, couples, friend groups and families! The boulder climb to the top of the ridge is the most challenging part of the hike and of course dangerous, and optional. Was thinking of adding a scavenger hunt along the way to add some fun for group? Thoughts?

I provide a 2 hour discussion about the necessary steps for creating a plan to become a working artist. To make a living as an artist. I work mostly by telling stories from my 40 years of struggle to integrate art into my daily life. I talk from a perspective of knowing specific fundamental truths about the human experience. Truths based on metaphor, language, empirical science; and sociological and emotional insight. Nothing teaches like our fundamental failures in life. To learn is to grow beyond what we think we cannot do. Dropping the pathology of the narcissistic self, the ego self; long enough to examine the broken self.... Provides a space to heal, find acceptance and strength, and the ability to solve ones own problems. Strength and success are built out of the confidence that is sustained by the nurturing of the creative spirit. Once it thrives, it can never be destroyed. I can change lives, saved marriages, transformed trajectories in a single sitting. We will be in my studio, my home, my sculpture park over looking the pond, at my private gallery or out in nature for a walk on the many trails along the river. Light food and beverage of choice are provided. Other things to note I will answer questions you may have, based mostly with stories from experience. I will meet you at where you are presently, however push you to be honest about what you really want... your destiny.
