Beth Foster/Forest Bathing With Beth
Beth Foster: Having wandered in the woods all my life, I delight in educating and guiding others to an awareness and understanding of the healing power of nature and trees as a tool for peace and prosperity. I believe that, in order to restore balance to our planetary and emotional health, we must reignite a deeper and sustainable connection between humans and the earth. I guide year-round and play in the woods in and near Barrie Ontario Canada.
