A path through the forest in the Eastern Townships
Fleurbain  ·  Cowansville, Québec

Step into the forest.
Come back to yourself.

A guided forest walk in the Eastern Townships and a daily nature practice you can take anywhere. Time in nature, made simple enough to keep. Come walk with me, and begin wherever you are.


You’ve lived enough to know what matters. You’ve also lived through enough noise to know what doesn’t. Underneath the busyness and the endless scroll and the showing up for everyone else, you’re looking for something that feels like yours again. Step outside. The living world is still here. So are you.


Come walk
with me.

You already know a walk will do you good. A guided forest therapy walk adds to this. We move slowly, cover very little ground, and pause often. I guide the experience so you’re free to notice what draws your attention, wander a little, and rest.

This isn’t a hike. There’s no destination to reach, nothing to achieve, and no particular level of fitness needed. I offer simple invitations that help you slow down and experience the forest through your senses. We finish by gathering for tea.

If someone you trust wrote nature into your care, that isn’t vague advice to get more fresh air. Nature prescriptions are real, and there’s good research behind them. I’m a registered PaRx Connector, and helping you turn a prescription into a practice you keep is my part. You don’t need one to begin, but if you have one, there’s a path made for you.

Follow your nature prescription

Five questions.
The season you’re in.
A few minutes back to yourself.

Sève is a simple daily nature practice that guides you from what you notice outside to what you sense within. Each day brings a new seasonal invitation and five thoughtful questions, along with a feeling check-in to help you hear your own intuition.

You’ll also find guided audio walks recorded in the forests of the Eastern Townships, ready to accompany you wherever you are.

Sève helps turn occasional moments of nature connection into a practice you can return to every day. Come for a closer relationship with nature; discover a clearer relationship with yourself.

Tamara Schmidt, forest therapy guide and registered PaRx Connector

I built this because
I needed it.

I’m a forest therapy guide, experiential herbalist, and registered PaRx Connector based in the Eastern Townships of Quebec.

I didn’t start a daily nature practice because I knew I was depleted. I started because it felt like the right thing to do. The understanding came later, after enough days of stepping outside and noticing things, after enough moments of feeling a little more relaxed, a little more myself.

Sève grew from that practice. So did the walks. If something here feels familiar, you’re in the right place.

Fleurbain operates on the traditional territory of the Abenaki and other Indigenous peoples who have been the stewards of this land for thousands of years.

The work of nature connection is inseparable from the question of whose land we are connecting with, and who has been tending it longest. I hold this with gratitude and with ongoing attention.
