Originating from Japan, Shinrin-yoku, or 'forest bathing', is a preventative health practice that improves and strengthens mental and physical wellbeing. Recognised as a public health practice in Asia and Europe, Forest Therapy is gaining global acclaim as an evidence-based, cost-effective and natural
remedy – a ‘green prescription’ for a healthier you.
You will learn simple nature connection, sensory and creative practices to help calm your mind. Other proven health benefits of forest therapy include boosted immune system, reduced stress levels, regulated pulse and blood pressure and better sleep.
