Sebastopol's 'TreeGirl' shares intimate tree encounters
Press democrat ^ | 12 Jan 2017 | MARY CALLAHAN

Posted on 01/12/2017 5:08:09 PM PST by rey

It’s the grand, exotic trees that especially call to Julianne Skai Arbor — the ones with gnarled outgrowths, tangled roots or hollows into which she can crawl.

She likes to drape herself across swooping branches or ease herself into small spaces, exploring the habits, curves and textures of the different species she seeks out around the globe and absorbing their life force.

The Sebastopol resident’s affection for the trees of the world has evolved into a unique vocation, one that forms the basis of a new coffee table book that features photographs of the author posing nude, enmeshed or intertwined in some way with different kinds of trees.

A certified arborist and environmental educator, Arbor espouses intimate engagement with trees as a kind of extreme ecotherapy, a spiritual reconnection with the natural world that is both healing and fundamental. And she hopes her work will inspire others, even if it just means finding comfort sitting in a tree’s shade.

absorbing their life force.

It sounds to me more like she's absorbed some fermented juice of juniper berries.

Those nut case tree huggers always seem to drag dogs around with them. I feel sorry for the dogs.

Pics at the site are tasteful and ‘artsy’ — but all I could think was she’s risking getting a spider-bite or a tick or something crawling up in a place you don’t really want to think about.

Imagine being a tree, living hundreds of years yet never being able to walk around and being stuck in a forest without naked women. This wonderful lady is providing a beautiful service to those horny trees.

If nothing else, if this catches on, more men would get off the couch and take more satisfying walks in nature.

If this was happening when I was a teen, I might have never come out of the forest.
