About this Event

Join a group session of Forest Bathing for the Winter Solstice with Rachael at Beacon Fell Country Park on Sunday 21st December at 10am with warming cacao to start the session.

The evidence-based practice that supports your wellbeing through deep connection with nature.


What is Forest Therapy (Shinrin-Yoku)?

Also known as Forest Bathing or Nature Immersion, this is a gentle, evidence-based practice that supports your wellbeing through deep connection with nature.


With a fully qualified and insured Forest Therapy Practitioner, you will be guided through a gentle sequence of invitations to help quiet the mind, balance the nervous systems, and reconnect with your senses. Together, you will create room for rest, reflection, and reconnection — with the land, with your inner self, and with each other.

You don’t need to be fit, forest-savvy, or spiritual — just willing to go slow.🌿


How It Helps
Spending time in nature like this has been shown to:
• Regulates the nervous systems
• Reduce stress, anxiety, and depression
• Improves focus, mood and sleep
• Boosts creativity and emotional clarity
• Lower blood pressure and boost immunity
• Support emotional regulation and resilience
• Offer deep rest, reflection, and reconnection

What to Expect
• Sessions usually last 2–2.5 hours
• Opening warm cacao drink to help us settle deeper
• Grounding meditation to connect us with our senses
• We move slowly through the landscape with a flow of gentle sensory invitations
• Time for stillness, optional sharing, and simply being with nature
• Each session closes with a tea ceremony and grounding practice
• Comfy, weather-appropriate clothing encouraged

All are welcome — especially those feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or tender-hearted.

We offer both group sessions and 1:1 private sessions. Please get in touch for more details.

Wear comfy clothes and prepare for the weather — nature is our co-guide, rain or shine.
