Forest Bathing
Your immersive nature experience unfolds along a curated wilderness itinerary of connection, reflection and introspection.
The Experience
Wellness in the Wild
Embark on a Private Guided Forest Bathing (Shinrin-Yoku) and allow your senses to merge with the sights, sounds and scents of the swaying pines and lush moss at your fingertips.
Recognized for its psychological and physiological benefits, this immersive mindfulness and sensory practice harnesses the calming power of nature and the impact of breath work to empower you to gain deeper access into peace and tranquility. Slowing down and engaging your 5 senses, you will connect with nature in a way you may not have previously experienced.
Shed your thoughts along with any expectations as you place your trust in our forest bathing guide so you can truly connect with what matters most to you through the heart of the forest.
Goals and Alignment
Are you looking to get more from your vacation? Want to get a meaningful and connected experience in Banff National Park, away from the crowds?
Look no further! This private guided nature experience will have you emerge with a renewed sense of presence, clarity and connection.
Perfect for families, friends, and couples seeking meaningful connection or solo travellers in search of clarity during transitions in life, work, or relationships.
Immersive yourself into nature
As your journey into the forest begins, you will set a personal intention for the experience, release all expectations, connect with your breath and flow into nature’s quiet magic through a mindfulness exercise.
Here, in this deeper state of awareness, you’ll slow down enough to truly notice what nature reveals: the colours of the trees, a gentle breeze, and the inspiration you’ve been searching for. Guided sensory invitations and reflective prompts will support you in moving from “looking at nature” to immersing yourself in nature, opening space for clarity, connection, and quiet transformation.
This experience is not only grounding; it’s scientifically proven to be deeply restorative. Nature immersion practices have shown to reduce cortisol, balance blood pressure, improve sleep quality, and support immune function. Even brief moments of intentional, guided time in nature provides a notable decrease in stress, enhance moods, and foster a greater sense of well-being.
Our Forest Bathing journey is thoughtfully designed to bring these wellness benefits to life in an accessible, yet elevated way; pairing evidence-based nature therapy with mindful guidance and the quiet comforts of a private, personalized experience.
Your journey concludes with a nourishing tea ceremony featuring locally foraged ingredients; an opportunity to integrate the experience and leave feeling rejuvenated, grounded, and deeply connected to yourself and the natural world around you.
This experience was outstanding. Chris succeeded in connecting with each of us on a deep, meaningful level and even did small sessions of life coaching with the teens, which was incredible. He took us to a spot away from the crowds and every detail was planned and considered. Thank you, Stellar Experiences for such a beautiful memory you curated and organized for us. I highly recommend it.

This experience has made it extremely easy for me to disconnect. This is on a whole other level, I can’t tell you how much I have actually loved it.
