Nature Play Walks

Ignite your creative muse with a "Nature Play" walk with Kelly!

This three hour journey combines the benefits of Forest Therapy with play and creativity. Through the use of watercolour and coloured pencil, you will be invited to express your unique, sensual experience of the natural world. Mindfully slow down, and immerse yourself in the beauty around you, while becoming present to the little things that often go unnoticed. Deepen your connection with yourself as you heighten and inspire the creative muse within.

Kelly is both an ANFT Certified Forest Therapy Guide and visual artist. It was through the regular practice of forest and nature therapy that Kelly's creativity was reignited, and she began painting again after a twenty-year hiatus. She is now a professional artist. To learn more about Kelly's visual art please see her website.

What participants Are Saying

"The experience was unbelievably rich and deep. I easily dropped deeply into presence and maintained that state throughout. So life affirming. The guide Kelly was so kind and steady and fully embodied the love and appreciation of
nature and our connectedness."

"Find the time! It is worth the investment to understand how you can benefit from listening and smelling the forest!"

"I think everyone would benefit to experience the calming effect of a
forest therapy walk."

I would like to acknowledge the land where I am living ~the unceded territory and ancestors of the Coast Salish Peoples of Salt Spring Island and surrounding areas who continue to use and steward the lands and waters of the Salish Sea. These include the traditional land of the local Hul'qumi'num Treaty Group (Cowichan, Halalt, Lyackson, Cowichan Lake, Penelakut), and Saanich First Nations
(Tsartlip, Tseycum, and Tswaout).
