I think, when you and I were in our intensive at The La Arboretum, they had those trees there and for me that was very special to kind of see those again, and so, as a kid, we would play, hide and seek in those trees, because you could literally hide in certain crevices, you could climb the tree, you could swing like you know, like you're just swinging around like tarzan on them. So for me to know that like, oh my gosh, you know, it's still here, you know.
Ever wondered how winter’s chill can transform a simple walk in the woods into a serene escape? In this episode, Highland Quietlife’s host sits down with Ana Leilani Ka’ahanui, co-founder and director of experiential programs at Capital Nature, to unravel the magic of forest bathing in the cold. Ana’s first experience guiding a session in frosty conditions sparks a lively discussion about embracing the cold and finding beauty in snow-covered landscapes.
From amusing chats about Chris Hemsworth to the mission of Capital Nature, this conversation is as heartwarming as it is enlightening. Ana shares her journey of becoming a nature and forest therapy guide, highlighting how forest bathing can help people find peace amidst life’s chaos, especially during the bustling Christmas and New Year period. The duo dives into the therapeutic benefits of connecting with trees and lichens, and the joy of bringing nature to urban communities.
They even touch on the City Nature Challenge, celebrating the wonder of biodiversity and the importance of conservation. The episode wraps up with a cozy discussion on crochet blankets. Ana recounts how her mother’s artistic crochet dragons have become a cherished family tradition, symbolizing comfort and connection. This episode is a delightful blend of nature therapy insights and heartwarming personal stories, offering listeners a refreshing perspective on finding serenity in the great outdoors.
