Hidden in 47 private acres of woodland, Shinrin-Yoku Sanctuary invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and rediscover calm through the ancient practice of forest immersion.
Secluded woodland trails and untouched forest
Comfortable accommodations surrounded by nature
Expert-led Shinrin-Yoku forest bathing sessions
A unique sanctuary in every season of the year
Inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku — forest bathing — this retreat was created as a place where nature does the healing. In the quiet Hilltowns near the Berkshires, SYS offers something rare: unhurried time, deep stillness, and the restorative presence of ancient woodland.
Whether you come for a night, a weekend, or a guided experience, you leave feeling something you didn't expect — whole.
