Forests (Digital Download)
The Forest Guided Journal is a 77-page landscape-inspired companion designed to help you spend time in relationship with forests and notice the connections that sustain life beneath, between, and beyond the trees.
Inspired by forests, woodlands, groves, and the interconnected ecosystems that exist within them, this guided experience combines reflection prompts, evidence-informed practices, Reciprocity Rx® exercises, sensory experiences, stewardship practices, and full-color forest photography. It invites you to slow down, pay attention to relationships that may not be immediately visible, and consider your own place within the communities you’re part of.
Forests are living networks of relationship. Trees, understory plants, fungi, soil organisms, wildlife, water, weather, disturbance, decay, and regeneration continually influence one another. What looks like an individual tree exists within a much larger community of life. Through the Reciprocity Rx framework of Receive, Reflect, Return, and Reconnect, you’ll explore interdependence, belonging, connection, support, change, and the many relationships that make a forest possible.
Use the journal while walking beneath towering trees, sitting in a neighborhood park or woodland, returning to a familiar grove, traveling through forest country, or simply becoming curious about the relationships unfolding among the trees around you. You don’t need to arrive looking for a particular outcome. Bring your curiosity, pay attention to what you experience, and let the relationship unfold from there.

At the heart of the Forest Guided Journal is an invitation to notice relationship. A forest gives us countless opportunities to look beyond individual trees and become curious about the connections among soil and roots, water and weather, wildlife and plants, disturbance and regeneration, people and place.
The longer you pay attention, the more relationships you may begin to notice, including your own.
What becomes possible when you begin to see yourself as part of the relationship?
