Felis vitae efficitur
Forest bathing, or "Shinrin-yoku," is an immersive experience that invites individuals to engage fully with nature. This practice encourages people to slow down and absorb the sights, sounds, and scents of the forest, promoting mindfulness and a deeper connection to the natural world. As participants wander among the trees, they can feel the stress of daily life melt away, replaced by a sense of tranquility and rejuvenation.
Hiking to Heal
Meet Tim. Tim has been an avid outdoorsman his entire life. From his time in childhood playing in the woods behind his house, to his days in the military exploring the foreign country sides-Tim has always preferred to be outdoors. When his wife approached him to start a guide service, Tim didn't hesitate. His construction crew kept him busy with work and he guided adventures when time allowed.
In May 2024, Tim and his wife were in a motorcycle accident. Tim had to be airlifted to UK medical center where a trauma team awaited. Once inside they went to work and later that evening Tim was in emergency surgery to repair his missing patella (kneecap).
Tim walked a mile in his home each day for almost 5 weeks before he headed back on trail. He began with shorter easier trials, adding more distance and difficulty with each outing.
