Heal with trees, learn about the medicinal properties of plants, forest bathe, relax and engage in meditative practice in the woods and in the meadows, connect to nature through mindfulness techniques, and improve wellbeing through energy medicine and working with the chakras.
Each session is a little different, and you might for instance find yourself meditating in a grove of Beech trees, learning about how to make your own herbal remedies, understanding why earthing is so good for us, or discovering how an Oak tree can give you strength and confidence.
How Nature affects our Health.
Time spent in nature has been proven to lower cortisol levels within the body, easing stress, and helping with symptoms of anxiety and depression. It can lower cholesterol levels, balance the blood pressure, boost the immune system, and regulate our circadian rhythms, helping us to experience better sleep.
The trees themselves can ground us, and reduce stress levels. As we walk through the woods, we breathe in the clean air they provide, and we automatically feel more uplifted and motivated.
The practices that we will be working with within the sessions are designed to help us feel more peaceful, uplift the mood, and bring balance physically, mentally, and emotionally, but in many ways they are made even more effective by our connection to the Earth, and to the plants and trees.
