The Experience
A mindfulness journey of Forest Bathing in winter
This experience invites you into the restorative practice of Forest Bathing, redesigned for winter. Immerse yourself into the sights, sounds, and scents of snow-dusted pines, crisp winter air, and snow-kissed trails beneath your boots.
This winter mindfulness and sensory practice harnesses the calming power of nature and the impact of breath work to empower you with deeper access to presence, peace and tranquility. By slowing down and engaging your five senses, you will connect with winter in a way you may not have previously experienced, allowing yourself to truly disconnect with noise and embrace the restorative magic of the season.

Goals and Alignment
Are you looking to get more from your vacation? Are you searching for more than a sightseeing tour? Want a meaningful and connected experience in Banff National Park?
Look no further! This private guided wellness in nature experience will have you emerge with a renewed sense of presence, clarity and connection.
Perfect for families, friends, and couples seeking meaningfully connected winter experience. Led by a certified professional guide, your safety in nature’s wilderness is our top priority so you can stay present and fully immerse yourself in the journey.
Engage your senses in winter
As your journey into the wintery forests 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 winter reveals: the delicate sparkle of frost on branches, quiet crispness in the winter air, 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 Winter 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.
