Casa Portal: A Day In Nature 

A four-night forest bathing nature immersion with guided forest bathing, facilitated story sharing, and spacious personal retreat time with certified forest therapy guide, Tam Willey of Toadstool Walks. 

Centered on sensory-based walks, solo forest time, and shared daily rhythm, this is an invitation to deepen into a slower, more attentive relationship with nature through a mix of guided time together as a group and prompted solo explorations to quietly wander the meadows and forests.

Casa Portal offers many spaces to relax both inside and out so bring a book, a journal, a craft, and anything that will support you during your personal retreat time.

All the prompts, invitations, sharing and ways of participating in the guided sessions are wide open to interpretation. There is no fitness requirement or special gear needed. Forest bathing is part of a global effort to tend to the stressful conditions of living in modern industrialized civilization. This program is designed for those looking for space and time to recharge, rest and reconnect with others. 

During our time together, the days unfold gently and deliberately. Experiences may include:

  • Daily guided forest bathing walks led by Tam Willey
  • Solo forest time with simple invitations for noticing and reflection
  • Evening fireside storytelling and shared listening
  • Quiet mornings and unstructured time on the land
  • Walking trails through woods and open fields on the private property
  • Seasonal, chef-prepared meals shared communally
  • Time to sit, wander, journal, or simply be outdoors

No prior experience with forest bathing is needed. This retreat is about showing up as you are and meeting the forest where it is.

This retreat is designed for those seeking spaciousness, attentiveness, and a way of being with nature that is grounded, accessible, and deeply human.

All-Inclusive Rates Include: 

• Three meals per day (plus snacks & non-alcoholic beverages)
• All teacher-led programming and workshop materials
• Accommodations for the duration of the retreat
• Exclusive private access to Casa Portal and its amenities
