Experience the calming and energising effects of spending time in a woodland. This two-hour session will enable you to deepen your engagement with nature. We will walk, gently stretch, explore mindfulness practices and breath techniques as well as having fun!

Forest Bathing comes from the Japanese Shinrin-Yoku which translate as ‘taking in the forest through our senses’. It is not a passive activity but an active engagement connecting or re-connecting with nature.
