Come and experience the unique experience of forest bathing. WHAT is Forest Bathing?
Originally from Japan, forest bathing is becoming increasingly popular in the US and Europe.It's about slowing down and using your senses to really connect with nature - a mindful immersion in the sights, sounds, and scents of the forest.
WHAT happens on the walk?
It's essentially a gentle, mindful stroll, where we move through 2km of easy trail altogether in the Gardens. (So not far!)
On the way you'll be offered a series of sensory-opening invitations to help you find your own personal connection with the natural world. You'll be with a small group of people for some of the time and on your own for some.
By the end you'll have left behind the stresses of the world and got in touch with the healing powers of the forest.
WHEN is it?
These walks are offered quarterly - on the third Friday of the new season - Winter (June), Spring (September), Summer (December), and Autumn (March). See dates listed for options.
WHERE is it?
Eurobodalla Botanic Garden is just south of Batemans Bay on the South Coast of NSW.
WHO is it for?
It's for anyone who's felt a special something in nature. But really it's beneficial for anyone keen to recharge their mental, physcial; and emotional well-being. Or to simply escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. It's suitable for people 16 years and older.
WHO is Phil Stubbs?
Phil has been certified as a guide by the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy - the leading international body in this emerging field. His previous work experience includes work as a lecturer at universities, environmental journalist, and sustainability manager for local and state government.
WHY do you need a guide?
Normally when we bushwalk it's about getting from A to B. Your trained forest therapy guide helps you slow down and really sense and experience the nature that's around you. This walk is not about getting there, it's about being here - in the moment.
WHAT to bring
- Water bottle, hat and sunscreen
- Rain jacket (if there's a hint or forecast of rain)
- Warm clothing (as we'll be sitting still at times)
- Towel or small cushion (to sit on)
- Backpack or bag (for the above and other personal items)
