Get In Touch with Nature in Door County

Beyond our communities, hundreds of acres of forests beckon visitors to lose themselves. For those on a wellness journey, forest bathing and grounding are two wellness practices that focus on reconnecting with nature to enhance physical, emotional, and mental well-being. 

Forest bathing is not about literal bathing but immersing yourself in the sights, sounds, and atmosphere of the forest by taking slow, intentional walks to calm the mind, awaken the senses, and cultivate mindfulness. Grounding, also known as earthing, involves direct physical contact with the Earth's surface, such as walking barefoot on grass, soil, or sand, allowing you to absorb its natural energy. When you’re in Door County, you’ll find two practices to help you on your journey.

Doorway to Nature is led by certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide Jane Burress. Her guided forest bathing walks are an invitation to slow down, awaken your senses, and fully connect with the natural world. Each walk covers less than two miles over 2-3 hours and features gentle activities designed to calm the mind, soothe the spirit, and promote overall wellness. Whether you're seeking mental clarity, emotional balance, or simply a chance to recharge, this immersive experience is a reminder to be present in nature and discover what nature has to present to you.

Step into serenity with A Door Within and experience the transformative practice of forest bathing in Door County. This guided sensory immersion allows you to slow down, connect deeply with nature, and rediscover yourself. Beginning with an intentional crossing of the "Threshold of Connection," the experience unfolds in peaceful silence, allowing you to fully embrace the forest's offerings. Over two restorative hours, you’ll deepen your physical presence and partnership with the natural world, guided by a skilled facilitator. Afterward, gather in a communal space to reflect and enjoy a soothing tea service, leaving you renewed in body, mind, and spirit.
