Who We Are — Cascadia Forest Therapy

The forest as a way of being

To grow the regional culture of nature connection by ensuring accessibility to guided forest and nature therapy experiences.
To be a trusted source for ethically and professionally guided nature and forest therapy experiences within the Cascadia Region.
Incorporated in 2021, became a small 501(c)(3) dedicated to growing the regional culture of nature connection by ensuring accessibility to guided forest therapy experiences. Organized as a member self-directed co-op, we are growing slowly (like the forest) as we work to realize a mycelial network of humans on ancestral Coast Salish land that offer nature connection opportunities to their communities, promote cultural repair, and model the re-storying of the relationships between humans and the earth.
We Value
- Our ancestral home in nature
- Each individual’s unique relationship/connection to the Earth
- Cultural repair through nature connection
- Scientific research as well as Indigenous and ancestral knowledge
- Ceremony, as individuals and in community, as a way to remember, honor, and strengthen our connection to the Earth

How might the forest do this?

This question guides our members as we work to realize the mission.
