Beneath the Canopy

Nice to meet you...

We are Orlagh Walsh and Cat de Wit, two certified forest bathing guides from Ireland. While we each have our own small business, we collaborate under the brand name Beneath the Canopy. Our goal is to connect people with nature in an easy and accessible way. We do this by hosting an engaging podcast, publishing seasonal e-booklets, and organizing impactful network events. Join us… Beneath the Canopy.

​

Orlagh runs Danú Forest Bathing, offering various monthly forest bathing experiences and collaborating with other well-being practitioners since March 2023. With a background in Zoology and environmental education, she aims to foster a deep connection to nature and environmental protection.

​

Cat, originally from the Netherlands, founded Forest Bathing Wicklow in 2021. She also works as a tour guide and has a profound love for the Irish landscape, history, and culture. She also enjoys activities like camping, gardening, and spending time outdoors.

​

Together, we strive to enrich our communities by promoting forest bathing and fostering a deep connection with nature.

Beneath the Canopy Podcast...

Beneath the Canopy is a podcast that helps people connect to nature in an easy and accessible way. Our philosophy is "Some is better than none". With the podcast, we give people a little nudge to deepen their connection to nature, regardless of time or financial constraints. Beneath the Canopy podcast informs listeners about the benefits of nature connection and inspires them to get outdoors and engage with the natural world.

The podcast is hosted by us, Orlagh Walsh and Cat de Wit. We are both certified forest bathing guides and nature enthusiasts. Orlagh has a background in zoology and environmental education and with Cat's experience in tourism and marketing, we have so much to share with our listeners. We connect with them by sharing our expertise, day-to-day experiences and everyday struggles. 

We publish a full, 1- hour episode on the first of every month, along with a shorter bonus episode in the middle of every month. As we approach Beneath the Canopy's first birthday, we are planning to increase the frequency of our episodes.

Buy us a coffee...

Beneath the Canopy is a passion project of ours and all the money we make by selling e-booklets and organising events goes to the hosting and recording costs of the podcast.
