About this event

One of the practices that has helped me tremendously in finding more peace and relaxation in my life is Forest Bathing. It has not only brought me more calmness and clarity, but it has also allowed me to truly hear my own voice again and follow my heart.

What is Forest Bathing?
Forest Bathing, also known as Shinrin-Yoku (a term originating from Japan), is a practice where you immerse yourself in nature and mindfully spend time in it. It’s not about hiking or exercising, but about experiencing nature with all your senses. The goal is to relax, reduce stress, and cultivate a deeper connection with yourself and the natural world.

The Benefits of Forest Bathing
Reduces stress: Lowers cortisol (the stress hormone) in your body.
Improves focus: Time in nature enhances concentration and mental clarity.
Boosts the immune system: Trees release phytoncides, which strengthen your immune response.
Promotes relaxation: Helps lower blood pressure and heart rate.
Enhances mood: Increases feelings of joy and reduces anxiety and depressive symptoms.
Forest Bathing is a wonderful way to gift yourself a new experience—one that will create lasting results.

What to bring:
Good shoes
Bottle of water/ a snack
