Julie Sczerbinski

Julie Sczerbinski is a guide, retreat facilitator, and steward of Magic Tree Sanctuary, a 42-acre forest in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. Since 2016, she has been guiding individuals and groups on journeys of deep nature connection. Her approach blends nature immersion, mindfulness, and earth-based spirituality, grounded in the belief that nature is our wisest teacher. As the former co-founder of The Forest Therapy School, Julie has trained hundreds of aspiring forest therapy guides in the art of forest bathing as part of a movement to bring people back home to nature. Her greatest joy is witnessing the transformation that happens when people slow down, reconnect, and listen to the wisdom of the land.
