A forest bathing walk is the Japanese-inspired health and wellness practice of Shinrin Yoku. Forest bathing combines embodiment and mindfulness experiences in order to explore the question of what it means to be alive and in relationship with nature. Origin Forest Bathing invites participants on a journey of self-discovery, that seeks to heal the separation between the stories that we tell ourselv

es about who we are and who we are naturally. We have always been part of nature and can go back for healing anytime. Unlike a therapist nature knows what each person needs without judgement or expectation. We live in a tamed world that has lost this connection with the more-than-human world. This practice is the collaboration of many wisdom paths, Jung psychology, Taoist and Zen philosophy, modern research, and ancestral knowledge. Origin Forest bathing is a heart opening practice of finding awe in the everyday and trusting that we are all connected in life. Being in the here and now, gets us out of our heads and into our hearts.

As a Nature & Forest Therapy Guide, I’m always looking for simple tools that help people cultivate their own relationship with nature.

So I grabbed this deck and carried it to one of my favorite sit spots by the creek.

Instead of following my usual routine, I pulled a card and let it guide my experience.

What surprised me was how effortless it felt.

The invitation was simple, yet it shifted the way I was paying attention. It felt almost like having a fellow Nature Therapy Guide sitting beside me, opening doors.

You know how sometimes making your own tea or coffee feels like another task, but when someone prepares it for you it feels like a romanticized version of your life?

That’s what these cards reminded me of.

The prompts help remove the effort of figuring out what to do and allow you to simply arrive, notice, and connect.

Whether you’re new to forest bathing or have an established nature connection practice, this deck offers beautiful invitations that can fit into a backpack, purse, daypack, or glove compartment—ready whenever you need a moment of reconnection.

Never been on a Moon Walk? This summer is the year. The U.S. Forest Service - Black Hills National Forest just released its 2026 schedule.

A Moon Walk is a guided night hike, free, on the Saturday closest to each full moon June through September. 7 PM start, lasts about two hours. Different ranger district, different Forest expert, different topic each time.

The 2026 lineup:

June 27: Cone Collection and Reforestation, with forestry technician Jed Burgers. Bearlodge Ranger District, Reuter Springs Trail near Sundance, WY.

July 25: Let's Turn On the Dark, with wildlife biologist Amy Hammesfahr. Bat biology at Little Elk Creek, Northern Hills Ranger District. The drainage is rocky, sturdy shoes recommended.

August 29: Walking through the Past to See the Future. Multiple Forest staff at historic Meeker Ranch outside Custer, built in 1887 by former Pony Express rider Frank Cunningham Meeker.

September 26: Meet Your Friendly Insect Neighbors, with USFS entomologist Megan Wilson. The 97% of forest insects that aren't pests. Willow Creek Trailhead, Hell Canyon Ranger District.

BHPFA has helped support these popular programs for years. We also make the annual Moon Walk Collector's Pin. The pin is $5, sold only at the walks while supplies last. Sometimes a few make it out to the BHPFA online store after the season, sometimes not.

Bring a light jacket, wear closed-toe shoes (no sandals), and allow extra drive time at all four sites.
