Forest bathing is not a hike or a fitness program.
Forest bathing is an opportunity to engage with the natural world- by engaging and opening our senses- we bridge the gap between ourselves and the natural world.There will not be a lot of talking or interacting with each other during this time. Instead, as we are walking slowly we will be seeing, smelling, tasting (with caution) touching.
Why is this beneficial?
Forest bathing is an effective nervous system reset. Hopefully participants will continue with their day feeling refreshed and restored.​
“We may not travel very far on our forest walk, but in connecting with nature, forest bathing (in Japanese, shinrin-yoku) takes us all the way back to our true selves.” Dr. Qing Li​
