About this Event

Hello Forest Therapy: A Day to Reconnect with Nature

Join us on 5 September 2026 at the Singapore Botanic Gardens for a gentle, guided journey back into connection with the natural world, in celebration of International Forest Bathing Day.

Hello Forest Therapy is a slow, sensory experience led by ANFT-certified forest therapy guides. This isn't a hike or a nature walk with facts and figures. It's an invitation to pause, breathe, and notice, to let the forest meet you exactly where you are. Through gentle prompts and invitations, you'll be guided to engage your senses, settle into the present moment, and open up to what nature has to offer you personally.

Many people leave feeling calmer, clearer, and quietly moved. Along the way, our guides will also share pieces of their own stories, the moments in their relationship with nature that shaped their own well-being and healing.

Whether you're new to forest therapy or returning to it, you're welcome here. No experience needed, just an openness to slow down and be present.

The guided walk may require

• Low physical stamina - Walking no more than 2 km
• Sitting on the ground on mats

Who are your guides?

We are all trained in the relational approach of forest therapy by the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy. Though we may be teachers, entrepreneurs, psychologists and medical professionals or coaches by profession, we have experienced the unique heart-full connections with nature and are keen to share this moments with you.
