Sacred Forest Bathing

“Passion for the natural world and authentic wisdom pour out of every chapter of this exploration of life in the realm of the mystical, where interspecies communication takes place with old growth redwoods, Sitka spruces, whales, and Earth Mother herself. Davidson invites us to soften into what Mother Nature reveals at every turn.”

“Ellen weaves spirituality, cultural connections, personal experiences, and science to transport you into the presence of the ancient forests. Her elegant writing flows with love of nature. This book gives us the opportunity to connect deeply with the wisdom of the trees and evolve our potential as human beings.”

“Ellen Dee Davidson has devoted years creating a deep relationship with the redwoods. The living language of the trees is subtle; with Ellen's help, the gift the trees offer us is to learn how to enter into vibrant encounters with wise ancient trees.”

“Sacred Forest Bathing is a poetic invitation into one’s own wild intelligence as part of nature rather than outside of it. Through Ellen’s personal journey with the redwoods, we are given a field guide for our own encounter with the heartbeat of life. You will never see or feel life the same after walking in Ellen’s hiking boots.”

“A calming and much-needed balm in these chaotic, uncertain times. Journey with Ellen Dee Davidson into the ancient forests of Northern California and return home to the healing, sumptuous presence of the Standing Ones/Tree People our ancestors knew.

Sacred Forest Bathing is delightful, hard-hitting, compassionate, hopeful, and weaved together through Ellen’s intelligence, sensitivity, realism, and utter delight for our living world.”

“Sacred Forest Bathing is a journey, a meditation, and an initiation into myth, magic, and sensual communion with the forest.

This book is her generous invitation for us all to come along with her into a multidimensional relationship with nature.”

Along the way, we discover a path that can lead us to healing and wholeness.”

“As we become weary and overwhelmed in an attempt to keep ourselves from becoming numb to the extreme suffering happening around the world, let Davidson be your guide to the life-giving powers of the natural world.
