Wellbeing in Nature – Let your Mind Wander!Forest Bathing, which is traditionally known as Shinrin Yoku, translates to "Forest Shower" or "Forest Bath" and relates to "total immersion".
Donna & Ruth invite you to step into the magic of Dittiscombe Woods located at Dittiscombe Estate & Cottages, South Devon (www.dittiscombe.co.uk) to enjoy a total immersion into the joy, beauty and healing power of nature. Create an alliance with the trees and enhance the connection to your inner wisdom. Listen to what the trees and your heart have to say.
A guided woodland walk combined with sensory invitations support you to take time out for self-care and commit to your own evolution. Let go of tension and time restraints and invite relaxation and empowerment into your body, mind and heart whilst surrounded by the medicine and wisdom of the trees.
Research has shown that two hours of forest bathing can have a positive effect for up to 30 days.
Benefits include:
• Boost immune system and sleep quality.
• Reduce blood pressure, stress hormones, anxiety, depression, anger and fatigue.

Please note: This event is an opportunity to enliven your senses, enhance your inner wisdom, explore nature with a childlike curiosity (it is not a wild swim, forest hike, nature walk or foraging exercise). All sessions are subject to a minimum and maximum group size and the good-old British weather. Whilst weather dependant, sessions will most certainly go ahead in the event of light to moderate rain. The terrain will mostly be gentle and suitable for all levels of fitness. However, if you have any concerns about mobility, please contact us to discuss in advance.
