Reduce stress and anxiety and elevate your overall well-being with forest bathing (shinrin-yoku) in the centre of Rendlesham Forest situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Join me for this slow relaxing walk as I guide you through a series of sensory immersive meditative and mindful experiences. This is an opportunity for you to disconnect and immerse yourself in the joyful experience of being in nature. Forest bathing is a beautiful self-care experience that will reset your nervous system for true rest and relaxation.

Forest bathing is the Japanese well-being practice of letting nature into our body through our senses. In Japan it is known as shinrin-yoku which translates ‘to bathe in the atmosphere of the forest’ or Forest Bathing.
Forest bathing is different from any other type of nature walk. Gentle walks of around 1-1½ kilometers (½-1 mile) last about 1 1/2 hours. Guided sessions offer experiences that support the awakening of your senses which reduce the static of your inner voice allow you to be present and help you establish a deeper connection to nature.
