Forest Bathing in Sonoma County:
A Path to Presence
What is Forest Bathing
EcoWisdom Wellness offers guided forest bathing and nature-based mindfulness experiences throughout Sonoma County's landscapes, from coastal redwoods to vineyard hillsides. These experiences invite you to slow down, reconnect with your senses, and rediscover the calm and clarity that live within you.
Inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku, each session gently guides you into a restorative state where breath deepens, the nervous system settles, and the natural world becomes a partner in your well-being. Guests often leave feeling more grounded, refreshed, and connected — to nature, to themselves, and to what matters most.
What to Expect
Each experience unfolds at a gentle, unhurried pace, giving you time to breathe deeply and notice the subtle beauty, sounds, and textures of the natural world. Through simple mindfulness-based invitations, you'll be guided to awaken your senses and settle into the present moment — quiet wandering, moments of sitting or lying on the earth, and gentle invitations for reflection.
Forest bathing is not a hike or a workout. It's spacious, contemplative, and intentionally slow — a powerful reset for the nervous system. No prior meditation experience is needed, and the practices easily carry into daily life long after the session 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 self
-
Mindful time together
-
Creative inspiration and emotional grounding
Available for private groups, corporate retreats, special events, and one-on-one sessions.
Why it Works
Research shows time in nature can lower blood pressure, improve immune function, reduce anxiety, and calm the stress response. When we slow down and settle into the natural world, our bodies begin to repair, reorganize, and remember balance — a gentle, science-backed way to support emotional well-being and resilience.

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, feeling lucky to call this beautiful region home. Her years in the hospitality and wine industry taught her just how much she loves working with people — welcoming them, learning their stories, and creating experiences that stay with them. Now, it feels like a dream come true to share a practice that has been foundational to her own wellbeing and growth, and a true delight to welcome others to experience the land she loves so dearly.
She holds a Master's in Integrative Health Studies, where her thesis explored forest bathing and the clarity the forest offered her during her own healing journey. She is also co-founder and Executive Director of the Integrative Health Action Network (IHAN), leading trauma-informed wellness programs for California firefighters and wildfire-impacted communities.
Over the past nine years, Jenny has guided thousands of individuals and groups across Sonoma County, partnering with hotels, wineries, healthcare systems, and community organizations to bring nature-based healing to a wide range of people. Her work is grounded in mindfulness, somatic awareness, and the principles of ecotherapy and ecopsychology — supporting the nervous system and teaching the therapeutic benefits of nature. She guides people toward building a relationship of reciprocity with the land, so they feel empowered to work with nature as a partner in their health and wellbeing long after the session ends.
Session Locations
Guided sessions take place in beautiful natural spaces across Sonoma County, including coastal bluffs, ancient redwood groves, oak woodlands, mountain trails, vineyard forests, and private estates. Sonoma County holds so many diverse and enchanting landscapes, each with its own character, quiet, and magic.
