Forest Bathing in Sonoma County:
A Path to Presence
EcoWisdom Wellness offers guided forest bathing and nature-based mindfulness experiences throughout Sonoma County. These sessions invite you to slow down, reconnect with your senses, and remember the deep calm and clarity that live inside you. Through simple, accessible practices drawn from the Japanese tradition of Shinrin Yoku, you’ll be guided into a restorative state where stress softens, breath deepens, and the natural world becomes a partner in your healing.
What to Expect
Each session unfolds at an unhurried pace, with time to ground, breathe, notice, and wander. You’ll be guided through gentle, mindfulness-based prompts that awaken your senses and help you settle into the present moment. Many experiences include periods of seated meditation on the earth, nature connection invitations, and quiet reflection time, creating space to fully integrate what you’re feeling and noticing.
Forest bathing is not a hike or a workout. It is spacious, contemplative, and intentionally slow — a calming reset for your nervous system and an invitation to return to yourself. These sessions are accessible for all levels and are a wonderful way to learn simple, nature-based mindfulness practices you can continue to use long after the experience ends.
Who This Is For
Forest bathing supports individuals, couples, families, groups, and organizations seeking:
• stress relief and nervous system reset
• improved sleep, mood, and mental clarity
• deeper connection to nature and to self
• mindful time together
• creative inspiration and emotional grounding
It can be offered for private groups, corporate retreats, special events, and one-on-one sessions.
Why It Works
Growing research shows that time in nature can lower blood pressure, improve immune function, reduce anxiety, and help calm the stress response. When we slow down and settle into the natural world, our bodies begin to repair, reorganize, and remember balance. Forest bathing is a gentle, science-backed way to support emotional well-being, clarity, and resilience.

Wine & Forest Bathing
Immerse yourself in the forest while enhancing your connection to the terroir of Sonoma County's wine-growing regions. Engage all your senses and discover how this heightened awareness enriches your understanding of wine, where the fusion of forest bathing and sensory exploration creates a deeper, more profound connection to the land and the wines it produces.
Meet Your Guide
EcoWisdom Wellness was founded in 2017 by Jenny Harrow-Keeler, a certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide with a background in integrative health, trauma-informed care, and community resilience. Jenny grew up in Sonoma County and has spent her life connected to these landscapes. Before becoming a guide, she worked for many years in the hospitality and wine industry, which gave her a deep appreciation for welcoming people, creating meaningful experiences, and sharing the magic of this region.
Jenny holds a Master’s in Integrative Health Studies, where her thesis explored forest bathing and the clarity the forest offered during her own healing journey. She is also the co-founder and Executive Director of Integrative Healers Action Network (IHAN), where she leads trauma-informed wellness programs for California firefighters and communities impacted by wildfires.
Over the past eight years, Jenny has guided thousands of individuals and groups throughout Sonoma County, partnering with hotels, wineries, healthcare systems, and community organizations to bring nature-based healing to a wide range of people. Her work weaves mindfulness, somatic awareness, and deep respect for the land into every experience she offers.
