This unique 4-hour continuing education experience blends professional renewal with deep personal care, through the restorative practice of forest bathing (shinrin-yoku).“Shinrin-yoku” is a Japanese word that means “taking in the forest atmosphere” or “forest bathing”. Forest bathing has been part of holistic preventive healthcare in Japan since 1980. It has been scientifically proven that spending time in a forest has a significant positive effect on the human immune system and relieves symptoms of stress and burnout. People world-wide have taken up the practice for the health benefits of decreased anxiety and improved blood pressure. (https://www.myswitzerland.com/en-us/experiences/forest-bathing/)Friluftsliv (pronounced free-lufts-leev) is the ancient Scandinavian practice of “open air living” “life in the outdoors” or “free air life”. The practice is deeply rooted in Scandinavian life. It is not about reaching the next summit, or counting steps. It is about fully being present while connecting with nature.
