Would you like to take your class, student group, or department on a private forest therapy walk? The Chico State Ecotherapy Program offers professionally guided Forest Therapy experiences on or off campus at no cost to participants.

A forest therapy walk is a great way to set an optimistic tone for the semester, organically nourish relationships and a positive culture within your group, and experience the natural beauty of our campus and community.

Consider letting us lead your group in one of the following offerings:

+ 30-minute "Activity"

Guided sensory and embodiment activity + intro to the science behind Forest Therapy.

+ 1-1.5 hour "Taster"

An abbreviated and relaxing Forest Therapy experience.

+ 2-3 hour "Full" Forest Therapy Experience

A luxuriant and restorative whole forest therapy walk. Offered on or off campus at a wide variety of green spaces in or around Chico.

The Ecotherapy Program also offers a holistic wellness training (appropriate for classes, departments, and student organizations). This training includes:

• Psychoeducation on how stress & trauma impact the nervous system

• Valuable techniques and tools for regulation, mindfulness, and resiliency
