Step away from the stresses of daily life, slow down, awaken your senses, and deeply connect with nature in a mindful and restorative way
Join Kate from Woodland Wellbeing, a Shirin-Yoku (forest bathing) practitioner and step away from the stresses of daily life and immerse yourself in the tranquillity of our park and woodland setting. Our guided Forest Bathing Session invites you to slow down, awaken your senses, and deeply connect with nature in a mindful and restorative way.
Wander through the woodland at a leisurely pace, engaging all your senses—mindfully notice the exquisite beauty of your surroundings, breathe in the fresh, earthy aromas, feel the textures of bark, listen to the soothing sounds of birdsong, and absorb the calming atmosphere of the forest. The experience features a unique elemental breathing and grounding exercise allowing you to completely unwind beneath the leafy canopy, followed by a warming woodland tea.
Rooted in the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku, Forest Bathing is a proven method to enhance well-being, with benefits including:
Easing anxiety, stress, and overthinking
Balancing blood pressure and reducing cortisol levels
Strengthening the immune system
Boosting creativity and mental clarity
Improving sleep, memory, and concentration
