Reconnect with nature, restore your wellbeing and rejuvenate your spirit with a calming and restorative guided forest-bathing walk, an experience designed to immerse you in the peaceful embrace of the forest.
WHAT IS FOREST BATHING?
Originating from the Japanese practice of "Shinrin-yoku," forest-bathing is not just a walk in the woods; it's a mindful exploration of nature using all your senses. Guided by an experienced practitioner, you'll be invited to slow down, become present and connect with the natural surroundings, fostering a transformational experience with nature.
p.s. don't worry, no swimming costumes are required!

HEAR FROM PAST PARTICIPANTS:
"I often walk in nature but rarely do I immerse myself in nature. Amanda's guided session allowed me to really slow down and feel part of the forest. Noticing the tiniest of details and just being present in it was fantastic. No destination in mind, nowhere to be, no clock watching - just you and nature"
Paul, Manchester
"We all lead such busy lives, often filled with lots of 'noise' and 'stuff' which we never switch off from. Forest-bathing with Amanda provided some much needed time to be silent, to decompress and to allow nature to restore you."
Georgina, Staffordshire
