There is nothing quite like walking, slowly and mindfully, through woodland to sense, feel and witness the wondrous healing power of Nature.
About this Event

Shinrin Yoku (translated as Forest Bathing or Shower) is a term created by Tomohide Akiyama, Director General of the Agency of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan in the 1980s.

This scientifically proven practice enables us to connect with Nature and reconnect with ourselves; the benefits improve our own health and wellbeing and ultimately that of our planet and everything that lives within and on it. ...

For more information about this wonderful practice can be found at bodymindasone.com/forestbathing


A Forest Bathing session is a guided slow, mindful walk through in Nature.

Every Forest Bathing session will be varied, influenced by combined create experiences that are as unique and individual as your Forest Bathing guide / leader is and as you are, for example:

  • Forest Bathing leaders share their own set of skills, knowledge & experience
  • constantly changing Nature as seen & felt in the seasons, weather and environment
  • locations whether in private woodlands or public spaces
  • and not forgetting individual reasons & expectations for joining a session


Body Mind as One Forest Bathing Session

I (Janet Drake) am privileged to have been granted permission to lead Forest Bathing Sessions in private ancient woodland south-ish of Hadleigh, Suffolk, UK.

Being a private managed woodland, full details will be provided when your booking has been confirmed

Each session is for a group of up to 8 human adults and may include;

  • gentle movement
  • mindfulness
  • slow silent walking
  • stillness
  • pauses for reflection
  • 'Invitations' (suggestions of methods and simple techniques that will enable connection to oneself and to nature)
  • opportunities to share or not (if that is preferred)
  • and more ...

I hold 3 sessions a month on a Monday, Wednesday or Sunday.

Each session starts promptly at 08:00 (am) and last for approximately 2 hrs

The walk may be between 1 and 2 miles

Each session is £25* (+Eventbrite service charge) per person

*A percentage of the fee will be donated to The Porch Project, as requested by the woodland's owner.
