I have been walking into forests since I was a small girl in Inuvik, Northwest Territories. There was a forest behind our home there and something in me settled when I entered it. I didn't have a word for it then. The Japanese call it Shinrin-yoku — forest bathing. The meditative act of immersing yourself among the trees and simply being present.

It all begins with an idea.
