About
Earth Heart provides wellness services that foster wholeness for the individual and the planet.
At a time when both the environment and humans are under stress, we can find a path to well-being by taking a walk in the woods. Individuals find what they need through forest therapy, whether that is an appreciation for Nature, personal healing, stress-relief, or a moment to themselves; through this we remember our Nature Relations as a culture and a global family, leading to infinite possibilities for a healthy Earth. Now more than ever, people are seeking the outdoors, deep connection, and ways to slow down and reduce stress. Forest Therapy Guided Walks are a gentle way for people to reconnect with themselves, with one-another, and with our Planetary Family.
Forest Therapy
Forest therapy is a practice for supporting healing and wellness through sensory immersion in Forests and other natural environments. It is a pathway to health and well-being for both humans and the more-than-human world of Nature. You can expect a guided sensory experience with invitations for you to explore connections with yourself, with others, and with Nature. By focusing on our relationships and the reciprocity therein, we start to remember that we are a part of Nature.
About Theresa
Theresa Lewis is a certified Forest Therapy Guide through the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy Guides and Programs.
I want to help others find peace and healing in the Forest and other natural environments, as I have had the opportunity to do. Social and environmental justice are important pieces of my identity, and I believe that access to natural, living spaces is a human right that helps communities and individuals to flourish. My personal experiences with how stress can manifest—physically, mentally, and spiritually—drives my commitment to helping others find peace within themselves through Nature. The ripple effect of self-healing is so powerful, and I believe that forest therapy is a way I can facilitate positive, collaborative change in our world for individuals, communities, and our Nature Relations.
“I would say this took me to another place to be calm and relax. [It] also taught me to reach out to the freedom of the trees and the energy they put out. When I arrived, I was stressed. By the time I left, I was truly relaxed. Thank you for this journey!”
