Forest Bathing Walks

Slow right down to natures pace and notice all that you are a part of in the natural world. Breathe in the fresh air, feel the elements on your skin, hear the rustle of nature going about its day.

A welcoming break to leave technology and the to-do lists behind as you experience how nature gifts you a powerful, safe space to pause,  to breathe, to rest and restore, to release any tension, heal and recharge. 

Forest-bathing is the practice of immersing your whole self in nature. Although our connection with nature goes back as long as time this practice originated in Japan in the 1980s where it's known as Shinrin-Yoku, meaning 'to bathe in the forest' ~ hence the slightly off name Forest-Bathing!

Don't worry - no swimming costumes are needed! 

You will walk slowly through the woods as your guide, Amanda, shares a series of nature connection 'invitations' or exercises to support you with exploring all this nourishing practice has to offer. Helping you to slow down, switch off and become present. Noticing what you see, hear, feel, smell and not forgetting your natural instincts, your intuition too. You will connect with all that the natural world has to offer you.

Benefits to your wellbeing:

It is proven that spending time immersed in nature has significant benefits to mental health and general wellbeing. Here are some of them:
