Combined Forest and Sound Bathing at Holmwoods and North Holmwood village hall, Near Dorking, SurreyConnecting and Capturing Nature and Sound
Following a mindful and sensory exploration of this wonderful location and after a short break, you will then be able to build another layer of relaxation and healing via a Sound Bath session.
Forest Bathing was developed in Japan in the 1980s to help people decrease stress levels following scientific studies by the Government. It is called ‘shinrin-yoku’ in Japanese, which means “taking in the forest atmosphere” or literally ‘forest bathing under the trees’. Many cultures have long recognised the importance of the natural world to human health, but forest bathing has taken this connection and mindfulness in nature a step further. Using mindfulness and sensory exploration, it involves slowing down and immersing yourself in the forest or woods. It is like a bridge – by opening our sense, it bridges the gap between us and the natural world.
The Forest Bathing sessions will be led by Nigel Grimes, an experienced forest bathing guide, who takes a group of people through mindful exploration of the forest or woods. The session will last for 2 1/2 hours.
A Sound Bath is a unique meditative experience that uses a symphony of sound vibrations to create a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere. You'll be surrounded by the ethereal tones of crystal singing bowls, Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, and other therapeutic instruments that harmonize with your body's energy centres, creating a state of profound relaxation and healing. The layering of a Sound Bath on top of the Forest Bathing will further reduce stress, daily worries and anxieties as the soothing sounds wash over you, promoting deep relaxation.
