Forest Therapy

Have you been feeling the effects of daily stress or been carrying the unrelenting burdens of past traumas?

 

Immerse yourself in a practice known as forest therapy, also referred to as forest bathing.

 

Forest Therapy is a practice that promotes healing and wellness through immersing oneself in the calming and restorative atmosphere of forests and other natural environments.

 

The practice originated from the Japanese tradition of Shinrin-Yoku or “forest bathing” and has been backed by research to provide an array of health benefits. By reminding us that we are interconnected with nature and all living beings, Forest Therapy goes beyond physical benefits and stabilizes our mood and cognition.

 

Unlike a traditional hike, there’s no emphasis on distance or pace. Here, the focus is on simply being present and fostering a connection with nature on a gentle trail that will not require much navigation and thus allow you to stay focused on the experience. Studies suggest forest therapy can offer a range of benefits, including stress reduction, improved mood, and even a strengthened immune system.

 

If you’re interested in learning more about this practice and its potential to enhance your well-being, consider joining a guided forest therapy session.

While forest therapy might sound like a glorified hike, guidance from a skilled therapist makes a world of a difference! As someone who loves introspection, picnics, poetry and tarot readings, the forest therapy had it all. Being in a high-stress profession, I struggle being mindful and intentional, the forest therapy was a much-needed nudge to be present in the moment and a gentle reminder that nature will wash away all your worries if you let it. Highly recommend it to everyone!
