​What is Forest Bathing?

Forest Bathing, also known as Shinrin-yoku, is a Japanese practice that involves immersing oneself in the forest atmosphere. Unlike hiking or outdoor exercise, forest bathing is about slowing down and mindfully connecting with nature using all your senses.

​Through guided sessions with trained practitioners, these sessions may include mindfulness exercises, sensory awareness activities, and meditative practices designed to deepen the therapeutic connection with nature and promote well-being.
