Shinrin-Yoku - Forest Bathing
“Between every two pine trees there is a door leading to a new way of life” - John Muir
So what is forest bathing?
The term originated in Japan in the 1980s where it is known as shinrin-yoku, “shinrin” means forest and “yoku” means bath. Simply put, forest bathing is all about immersing oneself in the forest by taking in the atmosphere through the senses.
Would you like to feel RELAXED, REFRESHED and CONNECTED?
If you answered YES, then forest bathing is for you.

At our final stop we will enjoy a tea ceremony and will take some time to reflect on the experience.
​
Sessions generally take around 3hours but it is best to plan for up to 4hours.

Drift away to the sound of the stream, observe a thousand shades of green.
Squish the earth between your toes, say goodbye to all your woes.
