Relaxing Forest Bathing

Forest bathing is more than a walk in the woods. It’s a mindful sensory journey that opens us up to nature’s offerings, providing restoration for our wellbeing. When we forest bathe, we intentionally create space and time in our busy lives to slow down and reconnect with nature.

Through this journey of reconnecting with nature, we also begin to see that we are a part of nature and find we begin to feel more rested and calm on the forest floor under the canopy of trees.

During HINOKI forest bathing, we find calm and relaxation through a series of guided invitations. By the end of the forest bathing walk, you will also find reciprocity with nature. A natural and valuable connection with nature.

Finally, we end out sensory journey in the Millennium Pinetum with a Japanese influenced woodland tea ceremony and a taste of nature.

Forest bathing originated in Japan, where it is called shinrin yoku. Research in Japan has shown forest bathing to improve our physiology, such as enhancing our immune system, stabilising blood pressure, lowering stress, improving sleep and concentration, as well as improving our wellbeing.
