Yasei Shinrin-Yoku means “Wild Forest Bathing” and incorporates wildcrafting, and includes a tangible understanding of the sentient forest. Yasei considers the expansion of our health, purpose and well-being as being directly related to the work that we do for the benefit of the forest – the practice considers that we and the forest are “one” and that through this presence the true natural balance of energy can be achieved that benefits both the individual and the natural world.
Sanctuary Forest Design
Stewardship and Regeneration Certification Training
Includes Wild Dynamic Permaculture Design Training - $300 Off
Presented within an Online Program and 5 Day Certification Camp: A Sanctuary Forest represents a location where stewardship is taking place which seeks to protect, expand or rewild the natural biodiversity of a place. A Sanctuary Forest is also seen as a spiritual centre where the stewards of the place have created a sentient relationship with all of the biotic beings located there. A Sanctuary Forest can be located on private or public land and is largely placed there by the sheer will, of those individuals willing to steward that place. A Sanctuary Forest is created upon certain pillars that include stewardship, science, sentience, spirit and sanctuary.

Rewild Online
“Rewild” is the distance-learning program offered by the Wildcraft Forest School. We offer online courses, seminars and outdoor challenges and restoration programs which provide an inspirational and creative environment for students ranging from children to adults and from beginners to professionals.
Why we plant Wild Ginger on the other side of the road? Human beings built a road that separates the forest. Ants are enlisted by nature to regenerate this primeval place, but we must help them.
This is a busy time of year for us because it is when the big melt happens in the high country and we must begin our efforts to restore the forest understory and meadow habitat. We must also restore Cottonwoods and other wild species that support drainages.
Clearcut logging is killing the Earth, and you and I can do what corporations, institutions and governments are not doing...we can go out and fix the damage that they have created...if we don't who will?
At the Wildcraft Forest School we teach people to become Yasei Shinrin Yoku Guides and Practitioners and we have even developed a clinical program connected to this practice which takes a wilder approach to forest therapy but also combines with forms of Earth-based spiritually and practical applications of stewardship. Yasei is now being delivered in over 30 countries.
Our world both locally and globally is in a great transition so it becomes important to plan our lives so that we can continue to survive and thrive during these challenging times. So I would like to share with you a few important points as to why you might want to embrace this training for economic reasons.
We should be planning for community-based public healthcare now and not later. There are a lot of indicators that suggest that our world is coming apart at the seams and what is becoming deeply apparent is that the economy and civilization in general are contracting and simplifying. We are now tasked with figuring out how we will deliver our required, food, energy, healthcare and education locally not to mention all the goods and services that we rely on but often take for granted.
Regardless of how our present institutions seek to plan the future of wellness and healthcare they will not meet with their goal of a singular uniformity of service. There are simply too many unique people who have a different individual approach to their own health and well being.
There are solutions.
“This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature. Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you. Take the power to make your life happy.”
― Susan Polis Schutz
