Intentionally Outdoors

Intentionally Outdoors invites you on a transformative journey back to nature, where the whisper of the trees, the enchantment of birdsong, the rustle of leaves and the aroma of the earth restore your soul. Led by Gwen, a certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide, our guided Forest Therapy walks offer a sanctuary from the noise of everyday life. Inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku, or forest bathing, each session is a sensory immersion designed to reconnect you with the natural world and, ultimately, with yourself.

Imagine strolling through a serene natural setting – whether it’s a forest, a meadow, or along the shoreline – your senses alive with the sounds, sights, textures, and scents of nature. Our slow-paced walks aren’t about hiking or exercise, but about being present and mindful, fully experiencing the life of the environment around you. Gwen guides you through a series of gentle, sensory-based invitations, allowing the forest to provide what you need. Each walk concludes with a tea ceremony and refreshments, fostering a sense of community and reflection as you share experiences and connect with fellow participants.

Our offerings extend beyond public walks to private and corporate sessions, each tailored to create a profound connection with nature, accessible to all. Our first retreat, Human Nature is happening August 28th-31st at Red Clover Ranch in Soldiers Grove, WI.

We believe that nature is our true home. Our mission is to help you remember and rekindle your intrinsic bond with the earth. This isn’t just a wellness practice; it’s a lifestyle – a return to the roots of what it means to be human. By stepping into nature, you step into a world of healing, transforming your mind, body, and spirit.
