The Forest Bathing Club began as a community meet-up in San Francisco, California in 2015.
Over the past decade, we have led over 1,000 people through transformational experiences in nature. From startup off-sites, to retreats and festivals, to guiding Fortune 500 CEOs into the redwoods, we’ve stayed true to our mission to help people connect to nature as a way to heal.
Now we’ve harnessed our experience and expertise to offer high-level, high-impact experiences for change-making leaders and organizations.
