    A Peaceful Forest Bathing Session

    Join us as we guide you through the steps of a peaceful forest bathing session. Forest bathing, or shinrin yoku, is the Japanese therapeutic practice of 'taking in the atmosphere of the forest.' Whether you choose to wander the twists and turns of a deep jungle or stroll the well-worn paths of a childhood wood, allow this mindfulness practice to transport to where the air is fresh and the trees reach up toward the sky. We’ve created these audio tours to transport you to inspiring destinations around the world, even when you can’t be there in person. So settle in, close your eyes, and take in the sounds of the forest. Note that each virtual vacation begins with a short breathing exercise to help you come into the moment and make the most of your virtual vacation.

    A Hike Through Zion National Park

    Come with us on a meditative hike through Zion National Park. See the towering red rocks as you pass by, small by comparison,  as your tour bus gently bumps along. Hear the gurgle of newly-formed streams and feel the cool mist of waterfalls on your face as you wander the winter canyon. We’ve created these audio tours to transport you to inspiring destinations around the world, even when you can’t be there in person. So settle in, close your eyes, and breath in the fresh air of one of the United States’ most popular parks.

    Sailing Down the Mekong River

    Let’s take a peaceful cruise up the Mekong River in Vietnam. Along the way, we’ll admire the scenery and see local life as it unfolds along the sloping banks. Imagine a river threaded by moments of rural life: a ferry shuttling people from one side of the river to the other, children play along the water’s edge, couples fishing from small boats, and farmers tending to their mango trees. We’ve created these audio tours to transport you to inspiring destinations around the world, even when you can’t be there in person. So settle in, close your eyes, and imagine yourself setting sail.
