Forest therapy, also known as forest bathing, is a nature therapy based on the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku. It is an approach where you take the time to reconnect with nature, with your body, your senses, feelings and emotions. It has recently become one of the well-appreciated techniques used to improve your mental health and wellness in an easy, accessible way.

Shinrin-Yoku forest therapy can help you to:

Softly reduce stress and relieve anxiety
Induce gentle calm and clarity
Increase creativity
Refocus on aspirations and refresh yourself
In-person walks will guide you through a series of meditative, mindful invitations, where you will start noticing through your senses the subtle beauty around and within you. This event is rain or shine.
