Every year around this time, life seems to speed up.

The calendar fills, the days feel shorter, and suddenly it’s like we’re sprinting toward the end of the year.

But the forest? It’s doing the opposite.

It’s slowing down. Letting go. Resting. 🍂

🍁 **SAT \| OCT 25**
🕰️ **9:30–11:30 AM**
**🎟️ REGISTRATION REQUIRED:** To attend this event, **[YOU MUST REGISTER via this link at The Nature Institute](https://www.thenatureinstitute.org/events/forest-bathing-5/)**

I’m guiding one of my final Forest Bathing walks of the season - just 40 minutes outside the city, on the quiet private trails at The Nature Institute.

It’s one of the most peaceful, beautiful places to step away and catch your breath.

We’ll move slowly through the woods, surrounded by peak fall color, and tune into what’s shifting, in the forest and in ourselves.

These walks always bring the loveliest mix of people; open-hearted, curious, and craving the same thing we all need more of: calm, connection, and presence.

If you’ve been feeling the rush of this season, consider this your invitation to pause - to turn inward with nature as your guide. 🌿

Spots are limited and my other fall events have sold out😳 don’t miss this one!

Jess Thenhaus is a **Certified Forest and Nature Therapy Guide**, **Nationally Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach**, and the founder of Urban Forest Therapy. Holding a wealth of certifications and informed by a decade-long journey of education, training and practice, **Jess stands at the forefront of integrating nature-based wellness with somatic and trauma-informed care.**

**Jess is on a mission to help busy people in urban (and suburban) environments reduce stress and recover peace in the present moments by cultivating a mindful connection with nature in their own backyard and local green spaces.**

Jess offers a range of nature-based wellness experiences including Forest Bathing, Nature Therapy Walks and Workshops, Corporate Wellness Packages, In-Nature Team Building Events, and personalized Health and Wellness Coaching. Her practice blends physical, emotional, and creative well-being, deeply rooted in nature’s wisdom.

Following her own health challenges and the constraints of traditional medicine, Jess pursued holistic health at the **Institute for Integrative Nutrition**, later achieving **NBHWC Board Certification in Health and Wellness Coaching**. 

Her training with the **Association of Nature and Forest Therapy** is complemented by her work in **Somatic Mindfulness Inquiry** and **Somatic Embodiment & Regulation Strategies**, providing comprehensive trauma-informed healing and nervous system regulation approaches.
Her decision to pursue this path was significantly influenced by the global pandemic, recognizing the profound need for nature connection in addressing the widespread emotional and physical upheaval experienced during that period. 

Jess now guides others to deeper self-connection and healing through nature, somatic, and holistic health principles, facilitating a journey that enhances present-moment awareness and fosters a sense of safety, belonging, and overall well-being.
