Forest Bathing in Amsterdamse Bos

Are experiencing high levels of stress?

Do you feel like you spend too much time using technology?

Do you feel disconnected from your authentic, ideal self?

What happens when we close the laptops, put down the mobile devices, saunter out and start listening to the wisdom of trees?

Research confirms that sustained, intentional contact with nature benefits humans through:

• Improved sense of wellbeing
• Lower instances of stress-related illness
• Improved memory and cognitive flexibility
• Expansion of creativity and problem-solving

Join certified forest therapy guide, Kimberly Knight for a walk at the Amsterdamse Bos to slow down, tune into your senses and reconnect with the natural of which we are a part.

Light refreshments and a handmade, upcycled journal are included.

We’ll begin with fully arriving in the forest and grounding our connection with nature. We will then slowly share in invitations to experience the forest intentionally and reciprocally. We will even enjoy some tea under the trees and have plenty of time to just be still and notice our noticing.

These walks are always slow and easy-going, not a hike; not naturalist tour of plants or trees.

Walk length: 2 hours; please wear comfortable, sturdy shoes for walking outdoors. Bring whatever else you require to feel comfortable.

Participants will be asked to silence and pocket their phones, so let folks know you will be unavailable for a couple of hours.
