Forest bathing is a health and wellness practice that derives from the Japanese term ‘shinrin yoku’ which means ‘bathing in the forest atmosphere’ using your senses.
The aim of forest bathing is to help you to slow down and connect to nature by awakening all of your senses. This increases your capacity to be fully present and enables feelings of relaxation and calmness. Research shows that Forest Bathing helps reduce stress, lowers cortisol levels, reduces blood pressure, lowers heart rate, improves concentration and stimulates creative thinking.

What to bring?
It is important to come prepared for all weathers!
As it’s a slow-paced session it is important to wear a few warm layers of clothing, waterproof footwear, a drink to keep you hydrated and small snacks if you wish.
At times you may be invited to sit or lie on the ground so it can be helpful to bring a small mat/cushion/bin liner/bag to use for this.
