What is Forest Therapy and How Does It Work?
Forest bathing, also known as Shinrin-yoku in Japan, is a relaxing and insightful experience in nature that has been scientifically proven to:
- Reduce stress
- Strengthen the immune system
- Promote overall well-being
During a forest bathing session, you will walk at a slow pace through the forest, pausing at various spots to mindfully connect with nature through your senses. You will see, hear, smell, touch, and taste the natural elements around you, and feel their effects on your body and mind.
Our guided tour incorporates sensory practices that enhance the forest immersion experience. The techniques we teach are specifically designed to open both the body and mind, allowing you to fully receive the healing benefits of the woods. These forest bathing methods serve as lasting takeaways, empowering you to incorporate them into your own future nature walks.
Treat yourself to an unforgettable experience – connect with nature, connect with yourself, and gift nature with your awareness and appreciation.
Your guides, Carlos and Emma, are experienced mindfulness practitioners and certified forest therapy guides. We look forward to meeting you and sharing this wonderful adventure together!
