The Sacred Grove: Forest Bathing Guide Training through the Wheel of the Year
Coming January 2026
There is a way of walking into the forest that is not only about presence, but about relationship.
A way of walking that remembers the land as alive.
That notices the turning of the seasons.
That recognizes the stories, symbols, and feminine presence that have always been rooted in the natural world.
Sacred Grove is a year-long program for women who feel called not only to practice forest bathing, but to guide others in a way that is seasonal, intuitive, and deeply connected to the living earth.
This training teaches the structure and rhythm of forest bathing — how to guide a walk, how to craft invitations, how to hold a group — while also exploring a different layer of practice.
One that moves through the Wheel of the Year.
One that works with the elements as they are experienced in the landscape.
One that recognizes how goddess and myth arise from the natural world itself.
Why This Program
There are many ways to learn how to become a forest bathing guide.
Most trainings focus on the structure of a walk — how to guide invitations, how to hold a group, and how to create a calming experience in nature.
This program teaches those foundations.
But it does not stop there.
The Sacred Grove is for women who are looking for a way of guiding that is not only about technique, but about relationship with the land from a feminine perspective.
Here, forest bathing is taught within the context of the Wheel of the Year, so that guiding is shaped by the actual season, not a fixed script.
It includes working with the five elements as they are experienced in the landscape — not as abstract ideas, but as something you learn to notice and respond to in real places.
It recognizes that many women experience nature through intuition, symbol, and story, and creates space for that way of knowing, rather than setting it aside.
And it explores how goddess and myth are rooted in the natural world, offering a way of guiding that feels more layered, more meaningful, and more connected to place.
This is not a standardized method.
It is a way of learning to guide that is seasonal, relational, and shaped by your own experience of the land.
“As the Wheel of the Year turns, so too does the power within us. We rise, we rest, we bloom, we transform—honoring the eternal cycles of nature and the wisdom they bring."
