🍂 The Healing Power You've Been Overlooking

🌲 Tati McAlister's Quest for Harmony...and Your Invitation to Join

Have you ever felt a profound sense of peace and rejuvenation after spending time amongst the towering trees and thriving beauty of nature? If so, you've experienced a glimpse into the healing power of Forest Therapy, a guided practice rooted in the ancient Japanese tradition commonly known as "forest bathing."

Meet Tati McAlister, the caring soul behind Fox Mountain Nature and Forest Therapy. With a gentle spirit and deep empathy for her “guests”, Tati guides you through the rejuvenating practice of Forest Therapy. Her own journey with a deep appreciation of nature began during her childhood in Louisiana, where the nearby woods was her sanctuary. She understands intimately the restorative effects of immersing oneself in nature’s sights, sounds, and scents.

After careers in the fitness industry and a 3-year, life-changing cross-country journey, Tati's path led her to Forest Bathing. Drawn to its scientifically backed benefits like improved immunity, reduced stress and enhanced mental clarity, she underwent rigorous training to become a fully certified guide.

Through curated walks, Tati will gently guide you on a journey of awakening your senses and connecting deeply with the present moment. As you tune into nature's rhythms, the melodic symphony of birdsong and earthy pine aromas envelop you, allowing daily stresses to melt away.

What makes Forest Therapy particularly powerful is its capacity for self-discovery and profound healing. With Tati holding space for your unique experience, these immersions create opportunities to unearth aspects of yourself that may need tending – whether past traumas, current struggles, or simply reawakening your bond with nature.

Tati facilitates a deeper understanding of the forest's nurturing embrace. With each mindful step, you'll forge a connection with the outdoor world around you, tapping into its therapeutic benefits.

Whether seeking restorative escape, rekindling your relationship with nature, or self-exploration, Fox Mountain Nature and Forest Therapy offers an exclusive, rejuvenating experience. Under Tati's guidance, you'll discover the forest's boundless restorative capacities, breath by breath. With walks scheduled through November, now is the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the wonders of Forest Therapy.

Connect with Tati on Facebook or Instagram to learn more or if you have any questions give Tati a call at 717-858-2711. SIGN UP NOW for a guided walk at Bear Creek Nature Center.

More dates and locations will be added as weather permits so stay tuned!!
