Zen's Path

Group Forest Bathing in Indiana

Bring your group together in a setting that invites everyone to slow down and notice what surrounds them.

Zen's Path Forest Bathing offers guided group forest bathing for friends, community groups, clubs, and private gatherings throughout West Central, Indianapolis, and surrounding Indiana communities. Led by Nanette McGarity, sessions combine gentle guidance with opportunities for participants to explore the natural environment while remaining part of a shared gathering.

A Different Kind of Group Activity

Many group activities revolve around entertainment, schedules, competition, or completing something together. Forest bathing offers another approach.


Nanette introduces simple invitations that encourage participants to explore the surroundings through their senses. Someone may become interested in a sound or movement, while another person notices patterns, textures, or changing light.

The group shares the same setting without needing everyone to respond in the same way. Participants can follow what captures their attention while remaining part of the larger gathering.

Who Is Group Forest Bathing For?

Group sessions offer a nature-centered alternative to a conventional gathering or activity.

No previous forest bathing, meditation, or mindfulness experience is required.

What Happens During a Group Session?

Group forest bathing moves at an unhurried pace, with the focus on engaging with the surroundings rather than covering a certain distance.


Nanette may offer invitations involving listening, observation, movement, texture, or other sensory elements of the landscape. Each person can choose how to engage, allowing different perspectives to emerge within the same outing.


The setting and flow may vary according to the location, group, and conditions.
