Fall Queer Forest Bathing Retreat with Toadstool Walks

​Join Tam Willey of Toadstool Walks for our classic seasonal  Queer Forest Bathing Retreat collaboration. Spend 3 nights and 3 days on 40-acres of private retreat space at Basecamp at Beaver Falls where Tam will guide participants on daily forest bathing walks with facilitated story sharing and lots of time and space for personal retreat time.

​Forest bathing is a guided relational exploration that centers on slowing down, unplugging and awakening our senses while resting outside under the canopy of the forest.

​Spend afternoons decompressing in the giant outdoor hot tub, taking a dip in the river or pond, and relaxing in the meadow. This time will be a mix of structured guided time together as a group, prompted solo explorations on the land, and time for yourself to do whatever feels good for you. Basecamp at Beaver Falls has lots of places to relax both inside and out, so bring a book, a journal, favorite game and anything that will support you during your personal retreat time.

​All the prompts, invitations, sharing and ways of participating in the guided sessions are wide open to interpretation. There is no fitness requirement or special gear needed. Forest bathing is part of a global effort to tend to the stressful conditions of living in modern industrialized civilization. This program is designed for those looking for space and time to recharge, rest and reconnect with fellow Queer folx.

​All vegetarian meals included starting with dinner upon arrival and ending with breakfast before departure. Lodging options include camping and indoor lodging.
