Forest Bathing.
If you've ever moved slowly through a forest, listened to the wind in the trees or noticed the sunshine filtering through the leaves, you've already practiced forest bathing in your own way.
If you are looking to deepen this experience, our fully qualified Forest Bathing Guide, Sarah, guides gentle walks using a series of invitations that will awaken your senses to focus on the natural environment around you. We aim to help you develop an enhanced sense of appreciation for nature and to re-balance your body and mind.
Originating in Japan as 'shinrin yoku' in the 80s, Forest Bathing is an accepted part of Japanese preventative health care. Since then it has been practiced worldwide and researchers continue to investigate its outcomes. They conclude that the real and long-term benefits include, among other things, improved sleep, reduced stress, increased immunity, lower blood pressure and accelerated recovery from illness or trauma.
