The term emerged in Japan in the 1980s as a physiological and psychological exercise called shinrin-yoku (“forest bathing” or “taking in the forest atmosphere”). The purpose is twofold: to offer an eco-antidote to tech-boom burnout and to inspire residents to reconnect with and protect the world’s forests. Either way, nature has a powerful healing effect on mind, body, and spirit.

A poustinia is a simple space where one goes for contemplation, meditation and reflection. The origin of the word "poustinia" comes from the Russian word for desert (Russian: пустыня). Our mindfulness cabin, aptly named Poustinia, is complete with a pillowed floor for optimal comfort. Relax to the peaceful sounds of a nearby a water feature.
Our Poustinia is open 24 hours for quiet reflection, meditation, and individual wellness sessions.
