Forest Bathing

Forest bathing, or Shinrin yoku (forest bath), as it is called in Japan where it originates, is an activity of deep connection with Nature in a dimension of slowness, awareness and relationship with the forest, with the aim of relaxing the mind and unloading the emotional load that accompanies us in our daily lives.

This experience proposes a sequence of very practical exercises, in which the participants will be stimulated to savor the gifts that the forest organism offers us (colours, shapes, smells, tactile sensations) through the use of the main senses (sight, hearing, smell , touch and taste), thus favoring a particular and unique connection with the present moment.

Various scientific studies have shown that a professionally guided forest bathing experience has a number of benefits:

Train your heart
Lowers stress levels by counteracting the action of cortisol
Reduces blood pressure
Stimulates the response of the immune system
Relax the body and clear the mind

Stop and breathe deeply. Notice where you are. Probe the sphere of the heart, explore the energy of your deepest BEING. Direct your breath there and tune into your tender heart. (M. Amos Clifford)
