Membership

A worldwide community for guides — and for everyone who supports this movement.

Professional Guide Network

The Professional Guide Network connects forest therapy, shinrin-yoku, and forest bathing guides from all areas of the globe — an international community for personal and professional development. Membership brings continuous learning through resources, courses, and webinars; collaboration and partnership opportunities; a supportive community for every stage of the journey; and a professional directory listing with a full personal profile through the Forest Bathing Finder platform.

Membership also amplifies your voice: an association working to professionalize forest therapy speaks to industry, government, and the public on behalf of its members — building best practices, credibility, and recognition of forest therapy within health care.

Community membership

Anyone who wants to support the movement can join as a Community Member. All revenue from community memberships funds training scholarships for people from, or serving in, underserved communities.
