In this episode of Decentralized TV, Mike Adams and Todd Pitner speak with Amos Clifford, founder of the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy, about forest bathing and spending relaxed time in natural environments without distraction. Clifford describes forest bathing as a practice of paying attention to sensory experiences in the present moment, distinguishing it from hiking and naturalist education, and discusses slowing down, noticing changes in nature, and developing a deeper relationship with forests.

The conversation also explores how attention to sounds, smells, textures, light, soil, trees, and other elements of nature can shape the experience of being outdoors, as well as the role of technology and deliberate disconnection. Clifford discusses guiding practices such as walking slowly, returning to the same trails to notice changes, and responding to invitations that arise naturally in the forest, while Adams and Pitner share their own experiences observing and interacting with forests, animals, and food forests.
