About this Course

Forest bathing (also called forest therapy) is a practise inspired by Shirin Yoko, a Japanese form of healing that has originated in the 1980’s. It’s a way of immersing oneself in nature in a slow manner and utilising the senses to connect with oneself and the natural world. A typical forest bathing walk can cover hundreds of meters over a 2-hour walk. It’s not a hike or a naturalist walk, rather the destination in forest bathing is to simply slow down and find connection with the present moment.
