Our forest bathing session left a lasting impression. I am still thinking about how the landscape revealed itself to me over those seven minutes we sat in one place. I’m inspired to bring more of this noticing into my daily walks. It was also incredibly inspiring to be around someone creating a life and job they love. -Katia Savchuk
