About this Event

Join us for a leisurely amble through charming private woodland. Immersing ourselves in the woodland atmosphere, we observe and connect with nature through the senses, smell the foliage, stroke the bark, listen to the birds. The session culminates with a ‘treelaxation’, our unique nature meditation under the canopy of trees, then a woodland tea, so we aim to leave you feeling deeply relaxed and rejuvenated.

Forest bathing is an evidence-based wellbeing activity, based on the Japanese art of Shinrin-Yoku. Spending time in woodland has been shown to, amongst other benefits, boost our immune system for two+ weeks, balance blood pressure, reduce stress/cortisol levels, blood sugars, anxiety and rumination, as well as improve sleep, memory, concentration and creativity.

Harmony In Nature is run by Katie Robinson & Joanna Bristow-Watkins, both experienced & insured Forest Bathing Guides. Operating mainly in woodland around the Surrey Hills and London SW20, we offer public and private sessions. See www.harmonyinnature.uk for all locations and dates available.

Ancient civilisations frequently venerated nature and gained insight and wisdom from their relationship with the natural world. By immersing ourselves in woodlands, we re-connect with nature and reinforce this relationship for ourselves.

L OCATION: This nature connection forest bathing session involves a three-hour immersive experience in the beautiful private semi-ancient woodland at Harry Edwards Healing Sanctuary, nestled deep in the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This has been a healing sanctuary since 1947, with lovely views over the Surrey Hills. We sometimes see/hear buzzards. With the exception of the occasionally crow, it’s usually quiet.

The picturesque village of Shere, frequently used as a film set for period dramas, is well worth a visit whilst in the area.

ALL WEATHER EVENT: We operate in all weathers except very high winds and/or electrical storms which would compromise safety, so we request that you wear appropriate clothing.

DOGS: We can only accept trained Guide Dogs on our Forest Bathing sessions.

Cost = £37.77 + Eventbrite fee = £41.63
