About your host

Jennifer Boudart of Present Sense

Jennifer Boudart guides forest bathing immersions through Present Sense Nature and Forest Therapy. Forest therapy is a practice that helps people rediscover and rebuild their relationships with the natural world through guided immersions in forests and other outdoor places. Jennifer became a certified forest therapy guide through the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy Guides and Programs to complement her 30-plus-year career as a science writer, and she is excited to help others reconnect with the land and reawaken a sense of wonder, calm, wholeness, and hope.

Event FAQ

When should I arrive?

Plan to arrive a little before the start time so you can park and check in without rushing. Your registration confirmation lists the day's start time and any check-in details.

Where do I park?

On-site parking at the ranch is free. Follow the event signage when you arrive and our team will point you to the lot.

Can I stay overnight at the ranch?

Yes. Observer Ranch has A-frame cabins, planet-themed campers, and full-hookup RV sites right on the property. Book your stay separately from your ticket so you can wake up steps from the event.

What should I bring?

Comfortable layers for changing mountain weather, water, and sun protection. Evenings can be cool and the skies are dark, so bring a jacket and a flashlight if you plan to be out after dark.

Is the venue accessible?

We want everyone to enjoy the ranch. If you have accessibility needs or questions, contact us before the event and we will do our best to accommodate you.
