The Forest Therapy Journal: Your Year in Nature
A Collaboration between Forest Therapy Victoria and Zorali
Step into the forest and find your way back to yourself. The Forest Therapy Journal is a beautifully crafted volume designed to guide you through 52 weeks of forest therapy-one for each week of the year-drawing inspiration from the natural rhythm of the season
Created by Matt Glover from Forest Therapy Victoria and Cam & Elise Greenwood from Zorali, this journal invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reawaken your senses. Each season-Autumn, Winter, Spring, and Summer-offers its own unique invitations for reflection, mindfulness, creativity and connection. Whether you’re walking through towering eucalypts or sitting beneath the changing canopy of your local park, these simple, nature-based practices help you pause, reflect, and realign with what matters.
Forest therapy is more than a walk in the woods-it’s a research-backed practice that reduces stress, boosts mental clarity, improves immune function, and nurtures emotional wellbeing. It reminds us that nature isn’t something we visit, but something we are part of.
This journal is your companion for cultivating presence, wonder, and peace across the year. With spacious prompts, calming exercises and seasonal wisdom, the Forest Therapy Journal helps you develop a deeper relationship with the natural world-and, in turn, with yourself.
Let nature be your guide. Your forest journey begins here.
What’s Inside…
Three years in the making, the Forest Therapy Journal is the result of a collaboration between the teams at Forest Therapy Victoria and Zorali. Drawing on our shared experience in nature-based therapy and outdoor adventure, we have created a journal that celebrates the restorative power of spending time outdoors.
The journal is divided into seasons and weeks, offering a gentle structure to guide your nature journey. Each week introduces a new Forest Therapy activity, with space to write or draw your reflections. Some activities are designed for a single week, while others, such as the ‘sit spot,’ invite you to return to them throughout the year.
The journal is intentionally flexible, allowing you to adapt it to your own needs and rhythms. If you love an activity, you can repeat it; if something doesn’t resonate, simply move on. There is no expectation to complete every suggestion—our focus is on helping you foster a meaningful connection with nature, reduce stress, and enhance your overall wellbeing.
The Forest Therapy Journal is available exclusively through our online shop and on the Zorali website, offering a unique companion for your year of mindful outdoor exploration.

Choose between two versions.
We have two beautiful versions of the Forest Therapy Journal for you to choose from. Both contain the same inspiring content written by Matt Glover of Forest Therapy Victoria, with stunning illustrations and design by Aidan May of Zorali. However, each version has been crafted in a slightly different format to suit your individual style and needs.
The Standard Version is available exclusively through Forest Therapy Victoria. This edition features a hardcover design with square edges and is produced using print-on-demand (POD) technology, ensuring minimal waste and sustainable production. Its sturdy cover makes it durable and travel-friendly, ideal for those who love to take their journal into nature. Whether you’re sitting beside a creek, resting under a tree, or journalling in your garden, this version is built to withstand the adventure.
The Deluxe Version, available exclusively through Zorali, offers a slightly different feel. It features a softcover design with rounded edges and is produced through traditional printing methods, giving it a premium finish. The paper used in this version has a higher GSM, making the pages slightly thicker and the colours more vivid and vibrant. It’s a tactile, visually rich experience that feels beautiful to hold and write in. Like the Standard Version, it’s compact and fits easily into your backpack or carry bag for outdoor journalling.
Both versions are designed to accompany you through a year of mindful connection with nature, guiding you to pause, notice, and reflect with each season. Whether for personal growth or as a meaningful gift for a nature-loving friend or family member, the Forest Therapy Journal invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and rediscover your natural rhythm with the world around you.
Note: Limited numbers of the Deluxe Versions are available through the FTV website. Alternatively, purchase the journal and other amazing outdoor apparel from the Zorali website.
