“Thank you so much for your generosity and guidance. It was a beautiful experience. I’m very grateful. I feel grounded, calm and peaceful now.”

“I felt I had an experience of the richness of the biome through the Canberra Forest Therapy walk you led. It was like a whole layer of the world became active for me in a feeling sense, leading me to feel embraced by it rather than seeing it 'out there’, separate from me. In this way, the walk filled in an experiential layer of Consciousness and the Dreaming that I have read and heard about, but not experienced in this almost tactile way before. As such, it was a great blessing, and makes me feel existentially connected and embraced rather than alone.
Over the last two nights I have also slept somewhat better than normal. “

“I feel totally different to how I felt at the beginning of the walk. I feel more still. I feel like my ears have opened and my mind has quietened”
Female 20 - 29 years
“It was a beautiful experience. Julie was thoughtful in catering to our needs and beautiful explanations. I feel more relaxed, noticing the details of the trees and the amazing formations in their bark and majesty of their being.”

“I feel like my nervous system is much calmer. I was a little wired when I first started as work has been very busy.
The Quiet Aware walking was a highlight. It was great Julie!”

Male 70 -79 years
“I feel more relaxed, more present and revitalised, mentally more clear and less anxious. I feel safe and re- energised, surrounded by refreshing energy.
Highlights for me were hearing of the Ngunnawal Aboriginal history and also about Burley Griffin (American architect and landscape architect who designed Canberra), the forest art making and the tea ceremony.”
