Forest bathing, or Shinrin-yoku, is a Japanese practice that encourages mindful immersion in nature—not an actual bath, but a way to soak in the sights, sounds, and serenity of the forest.

At Mar Vista, we invite you to experience forest bathing through our carefully curated nature experiences. We provide maps and recommendations for our favorite hiking paths, including a private trail through the redwoods leading to a peaceful meditation bench. Here, the gentle trickle of the creek, the songs of the birds, and the rhythm of your own breath create a truly restorative experience.

This is a self-guided activity, but if you’d like a deeper experience, contact Mar Vista to arrange a guided forest meditation.
