Embark on a journey of serenity amidst the captivating landscapes of Sea Ranch, where the forest meets the ocean in a breathtaking fusion that evokes awe and wonder. Join us at The Sea Ranch Lodge farm for a transformative forest bathing session guided by a certified nature and forest therapy guide.

In this pristine coastal wilderness, where breathtaking views stretch as far as the eye can see, immerse yourself in the therapeutic benefits of nature through guided ecotherapy practices. Sea Ranch is renowned for its wild and remote beauty, offering an unparalleled opportunity to get lost in its splendor and find yourself anew.

Led by a certified nature and forest therapy guide, this unique experience invites you to reconnect with the natural world in a deeply meaningful way. Forest bathing, also known as "Shinrin-Yoku" in Japan, is a practice that combines mindfulness and immersion in nature to promote relaxation, rejuvenation, and overall well-being. As you slow down and engage your senses, you'll discover the healing power of the forest and its ability to soothe the mind, body, and soul.

During this session, you'll participate in guided sensory awareness practices, moments of quiet reflection, and group sharing designed to promote integration and connection. The guide will also share tools that can be used in everyday life, making the benefits of mindfulness and meditation accessible to everyone, no matter your experience level.

Dress in weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy walking shoes. Layers are recommended, and please bring a small backpack to carry your own water.

Whether you're seeking stress relief, inner peace, or simply a deeper connection with nature, this forest bathing experience offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Join us and embark on a journey of self-discovery and renewal amidst the beauty of the natural world.

I have always been captivated by the beauty and resilience of aging barns and weathered structures. These buildings, with their timeless patina and enduring strength, serve as metaphors for the human journey. As they weather nature’s challenges over time, we too grow stronger and wiser, shaped by life’s incredible gifts and often heartbreaking trials.

Through my technique of layering paint, ink, and pencil on large wood panels, I aim to capture the stoic beauty and evolving character of these structures. Each crack and aging plank symbolizes our shared journey, echoing the trials, triumphs, and eternal spirit that define us. These weathered edifices stand as silent testaments to the resilience and perseverance of the human spirit, inspiring us to stand tall and push forward, no matter the hardships we face.

Painter Donald Hershman balances dual careers as an accomplished podiatric surgeon and artist, driven by a deep need for creative expression. He finds the same sense of flow in painting as in surgery, transforming subjects into vibrant, reimagined spaces infused with passion and humor.

Hershman’s work has been featured in the de Young Open (2020, 2023) and exhibited in solo shows, including Donald and Victor: Under the Influence (2021) and Code Switching (2023) at Salomon Arts Gallery in New York. His I AM A BARN series, exploring resilience through aging structures, was shown at Radian Gallery in San Francisco and highlighted in SF Arts Magazine (2024).

In 2025, Hershman will present solo exhibitions at Tony Wessling Contemporary, MAG Galleries (San Francisco), and Artifact Gallery (New York). His work is collected both nationally and internationally.

You have the option to collect up to 10 lbs of edible seaweed. This is a coastal forage during low tide. You won't need to get in the ocean but we recommend wearing rain boots. Moderate fitness and good balance encouraged.

“If we love and take care of the place we are in, we arrive to what we are looking for." - Sergio Larrain, Valparaiso

In the 1960’s and 70’s, the Chilean photographer Sergio Larrain photographed and published street scenes in his city of Valparaiso, Chile. While Valparaiso, a gritty South American port city, and The Sea Ranch might seem to have little in common, they both front the Pacific Ocean, connected by some 6,000 miles of coastline.

The photographs of The Sea Ranch in this exhibit, with one exception, are made with technology similar to what Larrain used in the 1960’s — a 35 mm camera and black and white film. They focus on interaction and dialog between the man-made and natural environments. The book of seventeen Sea Ranch photographs accompanying this exhibit is a small tribute to the concept of Larrain’s original modest volume.

Artist Biography:

Photographer Richard (Chip) Hay Jr. lived at The Sea Ranch during 2023-2025. He visually explores the dynamics between people and the environments that they create and inhabit. Reflecting his interests and training in sociology, architecture, photography and design, Hay views built and natural environments as cultural manifestations of people and their societies.

Hay has exhibited in several group shows including those at the di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art, the Los Angeles Center of Photography and the Center for Photographic Art in Carmel He studied photography at Northwestern University where he received a Ph.D. in sociology. He lives and works in the San Francisco Bay area.
