What is Forest Bathing?

Forest bathing, which is the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku, is the art of slowing down and immersing yourself in nature with all of your senses.  It’s more than a walk in the woods - it’s a guided experience that invites deep peace, connection and presence.  

Scientifically, it’s proven to reduce stress and anxiety, lower blood pressure, improve mood and focus, and support immune function.  On a deeper level, it’s a sacred return to our roots - a way of remembering we belong to the Earth, and that stillness is a form of wisdom. 

In the rush of modern life, forest bathing offers a pause - a chance to be fully present 

and embrace the sacred in everyday moments.
