Reconnect with nature for healing, creativity, and expanded awareness

Sacred Forest Bathing by Ellen Dee Davidson invites readers to reconnect with nature for healing, creativity, and expanded awareness. This enlightening book has received the 2025 NYC Big Book Award for its innovative approach.

Davidson presents techniques in receptivity and forest bathing protocols to help cultivate a sensitivity to nature. She shares her personal awakenings within an ancient redwood forest, including prescient dreams and telepathic communication with trees. By utilising these techniques, readers can experience how forest bathing can calm, soothe, and heal our bodies, minds, and spirits.

The book advances the practices of forest bathing and nature therapy to mystical levels, exploring profound healing, heightened creativity, and intuitive states of consciousness. Davidson weaves together environmental science, wilderness adventure, goddess mythology, and the sentience of old growth redwoods to demonstrate how to open a channel to the wisdom of the forest. Through simple receptivity techniques from her Buddhist mindfulness practice and forest-bathing protocols, she recounts her own remarkable healing from fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue.

Revealing how ancient trees can expand our consciousness, Davidson shares her experiences with deities, elementals, and spirits connected to forests and trees, including dryads, the Norse goddess Freyja, and Elen of the Ways, an ancient British goddess. She illustrates that listening deeply to nature and allowing the living biosphere to guide us can lead to the restoration of both ourselves and our world.
