The Tree We Remember
Do you have a favourite tree with a story to tell?
Somewhere in your memory, there may be a tree.
You might not think of it often…
but when it appears, it feels strangely familiar - as if it has been quietly waiting for you.
A Tree From Childhood
A Tree That Witnessed
an Important Moment
A Tree You Returned to,
Again and Again
During a recent Forest Bathing walk, someone shared a memory of a tree with such honesty that it lingered with me long after the walk ended.
It made me realise how many of us carry these quiet connections and how rarely we take the time to remember them or to share them.
So I created “The Tree We Remember.”
This project will only exist through the voices of people like you. Whether your memory is joyful, comforting, nostalgic or life-changing, every story matters. It doesn't need to be beautifully written or even very long. It simply needs to be real.
By sharing your story,
you become part of
something much bigger
than a collection of memories.
"For many years, I have dreamed of creating a dedicated Forest Bathing retreat in the Blue Mountains - a peaceful sanctuary inspired by Japanese simplicity, where people can slow down, stay, rest, reconnect with nature and experience the wellbeing benefits of spending meaningful time among the trees."
This retreat would be more than simply a relaxing place to visit. My vision is to honour the philosophy of Shinrin-yoku by creating a practical and meaningful program that supports individual wellbeing through intentional connection with nature, helping people restore balance, reduce stress, and nurture their physical, mental and emotional health.
One day, I hope that retreat will have a small library where visitors can sit quietly and read The Tree We Remember..... a collection of heartfelt stories from people around the world. Stories that remind us how deeply trees have shaped our lives, often without us even realising it.
Each memory will become part of a growing forest of voices, preserving the special relationships between people and trees for future generations.
With your permission, selected stories may also be shared through future publications or exhibitions, allowing others to pause, remember, and reconnect in their own way.
This is a small project.
But every forest begins with a single seed.
Perhaps your story will be one of the first.
