They call it forest bathing - but maybe it’s something even simpler. A quiet moment where nature takes the lead, and you simply listen.

Rooted in Shinrin-Yoku, a Japanese practice that translates to "forest bathing," this mindful way of being in nature is known to lower cortisol, restore energy, boost immunity, improve mood, and deepen our connection to the world around us. No destination, no agenda, just the simple act of being present among the trees.

On your next visit to the Inn, we invite you to explore our on-property Rainforest Trail and let the calm of the forest ground you, far away from the rush of daily life.

We often talk about the big views on the coast, but today is about the small details that make them possible.

Without the work of bees, much of what we gather, cook, and grow simply wouldn't be here. From the herbs and edible flowers in our kitchen to the berries on our grounds that are growing plumper by the day, these tiny pollinators are the reason our local bounty thrives.

Our commitment to the land and ocean means supporting those who protect it. We are proud to work with local growers who prioritize pollinator health and responsible, seasonal harvesting to ensure this ecosystem stays balanced.

On World Bee Day, we’re sending a quiet thank you to the bees for everything they do to keep this coastline vibrant. 🐝

[IN CASE YOU MISSED IT] In our recent newsletter Note from Charles, spring has officially taken flight in Tofino.

From the "river of birds" migrating across our shores to the majestic bald eagles soaring above Chesterman Beach, the skies over the Inn are alive with energy. Whether you are viewing the coast from a front-row seat on the sand or taking to the air for a bird's-eye view of Clayoquot Sound, April brings a shift in perspective that is truly breathtaking.

Read the full Note from Charles for a glimpse into spring at the Inn:

From mid-April through May, the shoreline sees a lively uptick in energy with what is often described as a “river of birds.” Tens of thousands of

A new exhibition by Campbell River artist Kaylee Gelz will be featured in the Henry Nolla Gallery from May 5 through July 7.

Kaylee began painting landscapes in 2022, inspired by a deep connection to the terrain of Vancouver Island and its surrounding areas. Her work reflects a view of the landscape as alive and expressive, constantly shifting, layered with personality, and shaped by a sense of story.

Through expressive colour and brushwork, her paintings aim to capture both the essence and vibrancy of life on the West Coast, and the emotional atmosphere a place can evoke. Each piece invites viewers to bring their own perspective and experience into the frame.

Guests are invited to experience her work in the Henry Nolla Gallery and learn more through her website: https://kayleegelz.ca/
