Sacred Forest Bathing

“Passion for the natural world and authentic wisdom pour out of every chapter of this exploration of life in the realm of the mystical, where interspecies communication takes place with old growth redwoods, Sitka spruces, whales, and Earth Mother herself. Davidson invites us to soften into what Mother Nature reveals at every turn.” * Jennifer Comeau, certified forest therapy guide, TreeSisters trustee, and author of The Inside of ME *
