WHAT IS FOREST BATHING?

Forest Bathing is spending time amongst trees with the aim of reducing stress and enhancing a sense of wellbeing. At Forest & Nature Bathing Sussex, we like to blend and balance the experience of being in the trees with spending time under an open, a clear or dramatic sky or a meadow or sand dunes or river and beyond…

BENEFITS

• Positive mental health
• Boost to your immune system
• Frees up your creativity and problem-solving capabilities
• Improves your mood
• Re-connects your senses
• Leaves you calm
• Enables your happiness
• Relieves stress

Forest Bathing is subtle therapy through nature. It simply helps return you to your original state of being. You could say that Forest bathing is a very simple and powerful way of, ‘making a journey home’, of reconnecting in a natural setting with who you are.

Step off the world and into the trees. Experience calm, freedom, magic, connection and the restorative touch of nature. Join us on peaceful journeys as we take you through the splendour of gentle woodland where you will connect to mother nature in all her glory, listening to her voice, responding to her call and surrendering to the peace and healing of her beauty.

YOU WILL EXPERIENCE

• Touch
• Smell
• Sound
• Meditation
• Visualisation
• Vistas, colours and textures of woodlands
• Walking
• Lying on the forest floor
• Exploring
• Connecting
• Concluding with drinking hot tea with a chance to absorb and if desired, to share your experience

Depending on the location and date of your Forest and Nature Bathing experience, you may have the opportunity to include intuitive writing, a nature fire-pit or an art exhibition and you may like to take advantage of local refreshments or a country pub lunch.

ABOUT THE ORGANISER ~ Amanda Bate

After years of experience in running nature based laughter therapy, movement, voice resonance and connected breath-work, Amanda felt it was time to develop her work in the direction of eco-therapy. Amanda is now trained in Forest Bathing (Shinrin Yoku) and marries many of her therapeutic skills.

Finding personal solace and relief amongst trees and in nature, Amanda finds forest and nature bathing to be the ultimate cure for stress and anxiety. She brings gentle inquiry and invitations to individuals and groups so that they may experience the tranquility and healing of nature.

“For me there is nowhere better to fully exhale and reset, than in amongst the trees and the meadows... Forest Bathing is a mindful way to release, explore, celebrate and give and receive the subtleties and power of nature.”
