September - Sunshine Coast Nature & Forest Bathing private walking tours

Relax and deepen your connection with nature. Please get in touch directly for bookings after September 2026 (details below). Experience guided nature connection and forest bathing in some of the Sunshine Coast's most stunning and iconic wilderness areas. Forest bathing draws on a sequence of evidence-based activities that support us to slow down, become more present and comfortable outside, exploring and deepening our relationships with nature. We walk, we explore and we might share, spending some of the time together and some of the time solo, but always with nature. All walks include: • Orientation to place, acknowledgement of country and sensory grounding guidance • Guided sequence of relational nature therapy practices by ANFT certified guide • Fresh herbal forest tea ritual and light snack • For more information visit https://heldoutside.com.au/sunshinecoastforestbathing Image above: Group forest bathing at Kondalilla National Park Top banner image: Introduction to forest bathing at Kondalilla National Park Image above: Solo forest bathing at Kondalilla National Park You can tailor your Sunshine Coast Nature and Forest Bathing Experience Choose the length of your session: • 2 hours - Usually less than 2km walking • 4 hours - Full guided forest bathing experience with a ecological introduction, between 1 - 5km walking • or Tailor an extended guided forest bathing and hike experience unique for your group.
