Speaking about The Healing Magic of Forest Bathing in San Francisco
In high school I ran for student government and my campaign slogan was “I promise I won’t be ATNA — all talk no action.” When I speak, I am sure to come from a place of deep integrity. Here are some examples. I’m available for your podcast, show, conference, festival, and what have you!
Some conversations I’ve had and stories I’ve shared:
Pachamama Alliance Podcast
Global Commons members Todd Lejnieks, of Edgetalkers podcast, and Linda Lombardo, of LI Forest Walks and Voice of Evolution Radio, interviewed friend of Pachamama Alliance Julia Plevin, creator of the Forest Bathing Club and author of The Healing Magic of Forest Bathing, about experiencing deep connection with nature.
The Art of Forest Bathing
In collaboration with Trick and Mortar Studios, I wrote and starred in a video on The Art of Forest Bathing. It was such a hit that we decided to create a three part series: Enjoying, Connecting, and Immersing.
Bee The Wellness
Vanessa from Bee The Wellness was intuitively drawn to my book when she saw it at one of her favorite boutiques in Venice, California. We talked about that intuition and much more about the healing magic of forest bathing. Give it a listen!
Unconventional Life with Jules Schroeder
Unconventional Life is a top-ranked podcast, 5-day mastermind event, and global community of like-minded entrepreneurs, creatives, and thought-leaders from over 75 different countries who are taking the path less traveled and redefining success on their own terms.
Nature Revisited
Nature Revisited is a podcast that explores our relationship with the natural world. It consists of interviews, stories and discussions that highlight the notion that nature is not a place one goes to, but rather a place one is a part of - that We Are Nature.
I spoke with Stefan on a visit back to my alma mater, Dartmouth College.
KPBS
I popped into the KPBS studios in San Diego, California while on my book tour. Yes, forest bathing really did save my life! And I believe it will save all of us and the Earth too!

Global Landscapes Forum Digital Summit
To mark International Day of Happiness (March 20) and International Day of Forests (March 21), three fascinating speakers will explore the interrelationships between nature, human health and wellbeing. Ahead of the upcoming GLF Kyoto (May 13) conference in Japan, Dr. Qing Li, a global leader on forest medicine and author of Forest Bathing: How Trees Can Help You Find Health and Happiness. will speak at a GLF digital summit. Developed in Japan during the 1980s, shinrin-yoku forest therapy, known also as “forest bathing” has become a foundation of preventive health care and healing in Japanese medicine. Li will be joined by healing specialist Julia Plevin, author of the forthcoming book The Healing Magic of Forest Bathing: Finding Calm, Creativity and Connection in the Natural World, and Sibylle Roth, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Freiburg currently researching “Muße,” a German concept related to mindfulness and forests. This digital summit will be a calm and insightful reminder of why it is so important to find time to be still with nature, to attain the capacity to work toward sustainable solutions for the future of the planet.
Simulation Series
This was such a deep and juicy conversation with Allen from Simulation Series. The work he is doing is really important and I was so honored to get to be a part of it. This conversation is about the intersection of nature and technology — a very important Silicon Valley topic!
Salon talk: intuition as sensemaking
I gave a talk called Life Begins at Wit’s End on how listening to my intuition has led me to where I am today. I share tips for others to learn how to get quiet and brave enough to follow the still small voice within.

I had a really fun conversation with Michael Yadrick about forest bathing, trees, and ecological restoration.
