TESTIMONIALS

What Do Our Guests Say About Owl Pines?

“Diane is passionate and positive about the ventures that she chooses to support and engage in and that attitude was definitely apparent and her respect and admiration for the gifts of the forest was contagious. She created a calm, friendly, no-pressure atmosphere and she kept that tone from the beginning to end. She shared the forest with us on a level that we could understand and appreciate and at the end of the walk I felt relaxed, calm and my spirits were lighter. It felt good.”
“I think this walk will take many out of their comfort zone and give them a chance to learn from the invitations and Diane’s narratives along the trail…She wasn’t just empowering us to see what she sees, it’s apparent that she is living what she is now teaching. That’s a strong example for those who hope to get the same benefits from the outdoors. She did so simply, quietly and gently and showed us how to soak in the forest and feel what we hope it shares with us.”
