Forest Bathing experiences

Forest bathing is an easy form of mindfulness anyone can try. It simply means slowing down and soaking up the forest atmosphere. Listen to the birds in the trees. How do the leaves feel underfoot? What does the air taste like? Breathe deeply and discover a new-found connection with nature. Dive in and let the calming sensations wash over you.

With 80% of us living in towns and cities, it’s no wonder we feel detached from nature. But as studies show, nature really is the best remedy. From improved heart health and respiration, to reduced stress and depression - the health benefits of nature are endless. That’s why forest bathing is one of the cornerstones of Japanese healthcare. When we connect with the wildlife around us, we connect with our mind and body.

We all love to hibernate in winter, but forest bathing can be even more uplifting in colder months. Wrap up warm and head out on a bracing forest bathing experience in January. You’ll be amazed by all the wildlife in action, tune in to the robin’s song and take in all the amazing shapes in the trees. Start the new year right. Calm your mind and lift your spirits in nature.
