Founder & Guide: Jenny Harrow-Keeler
Jenny is devoted to guiding individuals and groups into deeper connection—with themselves, with the Earth, and with what truly matters. Through forest bathing, she offers gentle, soulful invitations to slow down, listen inward, and remember our innate belonging to the living world.
Her own path of healing is woven into the heart of this work. Drawing from years of personal experience and extensive training, Jenny creates nature-based experiences that are both grounded and transformative—spaces where grief, joy, awe, and stillness are all welcome.
Her approach integrates mindfulness, somatic awareness, and Earth connection to support nervous system regulation, deepen self-awareness, and foster resilience. Jenny’s greatest hope is that participants leave with a felt sense of renewal—and a lasting recognition of nature’s quiet yet profound capacity to heal, restore, and guide us home to ourselves.
Our Approach
Forest bathing experiences with EcoWisdom are tenderly held spaces for slowing down, softening, and coming home to yourself. Each session is an invitation to step out of the noise and into the quiet wisdom of the natural world—where presence deepens, stress melts away, and the heart remembers its rhythm.
Guided with care, these journeys weave mindfulness and nature connection into a sacred pause—a chance to breathe, reflect, and gently reawaken your inner knowing.

Student of Grace Essence Mandala (GEM) teachings with Lama Lar Short — Ongoing
I study the Grace Essence Mandala path, a lineage-rooted body of work drawing from Tibetan Buddhist teachings, subtle-energy practices, and compassion-based awareness training. GEM emphasizes waking up the innate wisdom of the heart, releasing habitual fear patterns, and cultivating presence, clarity, and embodied compassion.
Advanced Student in Dr. Joe Dispenza’s Meditation Work — Ongoing
I am engaged in continued advanced study and immersive retreats with Dr. Joe Dispenza, deepening my understanding of neuroplasticity, breathwork, and the mind–body connection. This work informs my approach to helping people shift from stress and survival states into expansive states of coherence, possibility, and self-healing.
Beyond Forest Bathing
Outside of guiding forest bathing experiences, Jenny co-founded and leads Integrative Healers Action Network (IHAN)—a nonprofit born from the ashes of the 2017 Sonoma County wildfires. IHAN brings integrative, trauma-informed care to first responders and communities impacted by climate disasters, helping turn trauma into resilience, one healing moment at a time.
Jenny grew up in Sonoma County and feels deeply rooted in its landscapes—from the wild edges of the Pacific to the quiet majesty of the redwoods. She now lives in Santa Rosa, CA, with her husband—her steady anchor and fellow seeker—their bunny, and two curious kitties. Jenny loves sharing her favorite hidden nature spots with others and believes there’s always more to discover in this breathtaking place she’s grateful to call home.
She is an aspiring poet who finds solace and inspiration in writing, reading, meditation retreats, and time wandering in nature. She loves traveling, quiet mornings with coffee, evenings with friends and family, and discovering new places that spark wonder and reflection.
When she’s not guiding or out in the forest, Jenny is often behind the scenes building programs, coordinating care through IHAN, or traveling to disaster sites to support first responders and communities in crisis. In quieter moments, you might find her tending her garden, exploring local trails, listening to live music, or dreaming up her next creative or nature-filled adventure.
