At Kindred Nature, we guide you back to what you already are—nature. Through nature therapy, forest bathing (inspired by the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku), mindful nature walk & learns, and ecological design, we create experiences and spaces for you to replenish your inner radiance, resilience, and sense of belonging.

Founded by Ilana Z Rubin, a certified Nature & Forest Therapy Guide, Kindred Nature offers both in-person experiences throughout Northern Virginia and the greater DC region, and remotely-guided sessions wherever you are.

Our seasonal offerings include deeply restorative and empowering experiences of nature therapy and more wellness practices at beautiful parks and gardens throughout Northern Virginia, along with private sessions tailored to individuals, families, and organizations.

All bodies, backgrounds, identities, and experiences belong in nature. Whether seeking stress relief, deeper ecological understanding, greater creativity, or simply a moment of peace among the trees, you are welcome here.

Through gentle guidance, you’ll discover how mindful and bodyful presence in natural settings can transform your wellbeing, restore wonder, and remind you of your place in the web of life. Join us in remembering ourselves as nature and cultivating reciprocity with the living world.
