    Description

    Forest Therapy is a practice that supports health and wellness through guided immersion in forests and the environment to promote the well-being of both people and the land.  It is inspired by Shinrin-yoku, the Japanese practice of “Forest Bathing”.  In Forest Bathing, people spend time in forested areas to enhance health, wellness and happiness.  Studies show Forest Therapy can improve mental health, anxiety, physical health, and lower blood pressure.  Participants are guided through a clearly defined sequence of invitations to slow down, allow the senses to open, and experience the environment to deepen the reciprocal relationship between participants and the forest.  This supports wholeness and well-being.  Slow walks in the forest are typically less than a kilometer long and suitable for all ages and physical conditions.   Invitations are open-ended.  There is no expectation for what participants should experience or receive.  Participant spend time in silence, listening and feeling.  They become reconnected with their senses and open to what the forest has to offer.
