A haiku for you:
Listen carefully…
Leaves whispering their last words.
Deeply wise; profound.

What a perfect autumn afternoon with these lovely ladies! Forest bathing is a wonderful way to connect - with dear friends through a private retreat, like this group enjoyed - or meet new friends at a community forest bathing retreat. Both end with a wild foraged tea ceremony, where we come together to share and integrate the experience.
Cheers! 🍵✨🍵
