Guided Forest Bathing in Indiana

Guided Forest Bathing in West Central, IN

Zen's Path Forest Bathing offers guided forest bathing and nature-based wellness experiences for individuals, couples, families, private groups, and organizations throughout West Central, Indianapolis, and surrounding Indiana communities.

Led by Nanette McGarity, each session offers a welcoming way to step outside the usual routine and experience the natural world with greater attention and curiosity.

A Different Way to Experience Nature

Forest bathing isn't about hiking farther, exercising harder, or reaching a destination. It's about slowing down, stepping away from digital distractions, and noticing what is already around you.


Also known as Shinrin-Yoku, forest bathing is a practice of spending unhurried time in nature while engaging the senses. A guided session may invite you to notice sounds, textures, scents, movement, light, and other details that are easily missed during an ordinary walk. It can also provide an opportunity for a digital detox—setting aside phones, screens, and constant notifications so you can be more present with yourself and your surroundings.

There is no experience level to reach and no special knowledge required. Forest bathing is accessible to newcomers as well as those already familiar with mindfulness and nature-based wellness practices.

Make Space to Simply Be

Busy schedules, screens, responsibilities, and constant demands for attention can make quiet moments feel increasingly rare. Time outdoors offers a change of rhythm.


Forest bathing creates an opportunity to put aside the need to accomplish something and become more attentive to the moment. Depending on how you choose to engage, your session may offer opportunities to:

Every session unfolds differently. What captures your attention one day may be entirely different the next, making each visit to the forest its own experience.
