Tranquil Old Growth Forest Walk
With Music From The Trees
Walk surrounded by old growth trees in Squaxin Park only 2 miles north of downtown Olympia, WA. After a welcome to the land and guided meditation, we'll stroll in silence, tune into the sights and sounds of towering 500-year-old trees, and then listen to a tree sing its unique song using my device that converts the tree's electric signals into notes.
Explore the "Wood Wide Web"
We'll walk 2 miles of trails at a comfortable pace under the canopy of a living forest that is a thriving ecosystem, a network of soil fungi.
Awaken to the practice of healing in nature, Shinrin-yoku or "Forest Bathing."
- Feel revitalized, connected, and centered after a short meditation.
- Marvel at the discovery that trees are social, they communicate and nurture each other.

Five Star Reviews
"I attended an Old Growth Forest Walk with Julie, and it was absolutely amazing. Every second of the walk was fantastic. Being able to hear the forest was incredible. The information Julie presented was inspiring and I learned so very much. - Karen, August 2024
A beautiful experience! Julie has so much knowledge and love for this forest and for trees and forests around the world. This experience was restorative, informative and also provides a sense of connection and hope with the world and the future. I consider myself a PNW nature nerd but learned so many new things." - Keelin, May 2024
"Julie is so knowledgeable and friendly, it felt like being on a walk with an old friend while seeing the forest through new eyes and ears. Hearing the trees sing with Julie's special equipment was profoundly moving. So grateful I went on this adventure!" - Kim July 2024
