Forest Bathing Experiences in Indiana

Find a way to spend time in nature that fits you.

Zen's Path Forest Bathing offers guided sessions for individuals, couples, families, private groups, and organizations throughout West Central, Indianapolis, and surrounding Indiana communities.

Led by Nanette McGarity, each session combines gentle guidance with time to notice, reflect, and engage with the landscape at an unhurried pace. Choose the option that best suits you, the people joining you, and what brings you outdoors.

Discover what changes when reaching a destination is no longer the goal.

Guided forest bathing introduces you to the natural environment through sensory invitations, quiet observation, and gentle movement. Nanette provides enough structure to help you become more attentive to your surroundings while leaving room for personal discovery.

Beginners are welcome. No previous meditation, mindfulness, or forest bathing practice is required.

Choose a quieter, more personal way to spend time outdoors.

Private forest bathing sessions provide individual attention and the freedom to engage with the landscape at a pace that feels comfortable to you. This option is well suited to those seeking personal time in nature or who simply prefer a more individualized setting.

Leave some of the usual distractions behind and enjoy the outdoors together.

Couples and family sessions create space to notice, discover, and share moments in nature side by side. Without a destination to reach or activity to complete, the focus shifts toward quality time and experiencing the surroundings together.

Gather friends, community members, or a private group for a different kind of time together.

Group forest bathing balances individual discovery with a shared journey through the landscape. Participants can respond to invitations in their own way while remaining part of a collective outdoor gathering.

Take your team beyond the usual workplace environment.

Zen's Path offers nature-based sessions for businesses, teams, and organizations interested in incorporating the outdoors into workplace wellness or group gatherings. Time away from the usual setting gives colleagues a chance to interact differently and share a refreshing change of pace.

Sessions can be discussed according to your group, occasion, and preferred location.

Shinrin-Yoku is a Japanese term commonly translated as “forest bathing.” Rather than treating the outdoors as somewhere to move through quickly, the practice encourages people to engage more closely with the environment through the senses.

Zen's Path draws on this nature-centered approach through guided invitations that encourage observation, curiosity, and mindful engagement with the landscape.



Forest bathing and nature therapy are offered as wellness and nature-connection practices, not as substitutes for medical or mental health treatment.

Meaningful time outdoors doesn't need to be measured by miles, speed, or physical challenge.

Zen's Path offers outdoor wellness experiences centered on mindful awareness, reflection, and appreciation of the environment. This option can suit individuals or groups looking for purposeful time outside without the expectations of a traditional hike or fitness-focused activity.

Which Path Fits You?

Not sure where to begin? You don't need to decide before reaching out.

A guided session offers an approachable introduction to forest bathing. Private sessions provide a more individualized setting, while couples and family options create time to share the outdoors with people close to you. Group and organizational offerings are available when you want to bring others together.

Nanette can help you identify an option based on who will be attending, your preferred setting, and what you're looking for from your time outdoors.
