What is Forest Bathing &
Nature Connectedness?

Forest Bathing, or Shinrin-Yoku, is a guided, sensory experience in nature — a chance to slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with the world around you.

​​

It’s not simply a walk in the woods, nor is it about identifying species or hugging trees, though you are welcome to! Instead, it’s a practice of presence — noticing the movement of light through leaves, the texture of bark beneath your fingers, the sound of wind and birdsong.

​​

During a session, your guide offers gentle invitations — simple prompts that encourage curiosity, stillness and reflection. Each one helps you tune into your senses and form a more intimate connection with your surroundings.

​​

This growing sense of relationship is known as Nature Connectedness — the feeling of belonging to the living world. Research shows that nurturing this connection supports wellbeing, creativity and balance, reminding us that moments of calm and joy are always close when we slow down enough to notice them.
