Forest Therapy
Shinrin Yoku - Japanese Forest Bathing
Our Forest Bathing sessions near Southend-on-sea, consist of a 2-hour gentle walk under the canopy of trees, amongst beautiful woodland. You’ll be guided through a series of sensory exercises designed to develop a deeper connection with nature, calming body and mind, before we conclude with a guided relaxation.
During the session your Forest Bathing Guide will share some of the science that shows why time with trees is so good for us, including research into the surprising secret benefits of breathing woodland air. Our main aim, however, is to help you unwind.
Slowing right down and focusing on nature allows us to step away from our busy minds, letting worries and cares melt away. We experience the natural world in a different way, perhaps like a child would, seeing things in more detail, with clarity and awe. You'll never look at woodland in the same way again!
We are looking forward to sharing the restorative power of nature with you!
