Learning to slow down and see the forest for the trees - I spent the afternoon with John and one other guest. John led us through the forest and facilitated various exercises where he invited us to connect with ourselves and with nature. This is exactly the reason for my trip to B.C! I am so glad I had this experience.

A Welcome Shift - John offered a genuine and inspirational interaction with the forest that we enjoyed very much. His grounding presence, coupled with the beauty of the forest around us, was a welcome shift in the energy that we had before arriving on the island. Highly recommend this tour if you desire a deeper connection with Nature and the Universe.

What a breakthrough! - John guided us into such a great psychological and emotional place while touring us through such a beautiful physical place. John's calm voice and nurturing guidance brought my friend and I to a personal breakthrough in realizing how busy our lives and our minds were and that paying attention to the little things in life and in nature is a vital part of success and happiness. Thanks again John!

Exactly as described - John was a wonderful guide, and made the whole experience more than what we could ask for. The venue was amazing in the beautiful green forest (even in February!). It was an experience we truly appreciated, and would recommend this tour to anyone who appreciates life and nature.

A very calming and reflective experience - I wasn't too sure what Forest Bathing was, but looked forward to the experience and was not disappointed. My sister and I went on this with John. He is amazing. Looked at the forest from a completely different perspective. John is very passionate about what he does and I felt the same way after experiencing this with him. Look at a hike through the forest completely differently now. Thanks so much John for the great experience.

May the Forest Be With You - Going into it we weren't sure what to expect, but we went into it with an open mind and damn are we lucky that we did. John was amazing. He was well informed about the forest, had fun stories, and has made us look at forests and nature in a different way. Will be doing this again for sure! Great way to get out of your own head and feel some much needed peace and quiet. Thank you John!

Outdoor - This mystical rainforest experience guided by shah-men/nature mentorJohn was a unique spiritual adventure. We were surrounded by the beauty of the rainforest, educated on plant life, animals and practices of Japanese naturalists. Through suggested activities along the path one becomes aware of sensations, sounds,sights leading to tranquility and peace. John is personable with insight to guests experiences inviting you to share your own along the way.

Wonderful - I had to admit I wasn’t quite sure what Forest Bathing and/or Nature Mysticism was when I signed up. I was signed up for a hike and was intrigued. I’m not if I can describe it; but I was a wonderful experience. John is compassionate soul and the exercise we learned; I would definitely used in the future.

Rest & Reset - Very calming, cleansing experience. Many of the people in my group were solo travelers, including myself. The tour guide is really nice and bad is all laughing.
The ONLY thing I didn't like too much was the noise in the forest that day, which is out of anyone's control. I wonder if John could offer the experience at a variety of parks.
