What is Nature and Forest Therapy?
Nature and Forest Therapy: Reconnecting with Nature for Well-Being
Learn to slow down and step into the serene embrace of nature anywhere on the planet. A guided Nature and Forest Therapy event is designed to rejuvenate your body, mind, and spirit. Inspired by forest bathing or Shinrin-yoku in Japan, forest therapy is a guided practice to help you immerse in the sights, sounds, and scents of the natural world to foster deep relaxation, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being. Time in nature is being prescribed by Mayo Clinic and doctors around the world and empowers individuals to slow down, be refreshed and reconnect with oneself, other people and all living beings.
