About this Event
Summer can often be an over-stimulating time, trying to pack stuff in while there is good weather, leading to stress even though we've waited so long through the dark months for it! Join Danielle, a trained Forest Bathing guide, for an opportunity to relax and restore and reconnect to Nature and yourself in a fresh way.
No swimming involved!
Forest Bathing is a beautiful evidence based practice connected to the Japanese practice of Shinrin Yoku.
You will be guided on a gentle walk to help you slow down, relax and connect to yourself and your surroundings. I offer simple sensory invitations to help deepen the experience, and foraged tea and snacks at the end.
By the end, you'll be refreshed and relaxed after immersing in the restorative power of the natural world. You'll take away nature-based practices that you can incorporate into your own outside time. A perfect way to recharge your weekend and prepare for the week and month ahead.
On this guided walk the aim is to:
*Enjoy nature-based invitations to bring the senses alive
*Have dedicated, protected time to connect with nature deeply
*Allow space to slow down and be more present
*Learn gentle practices to enhance your own connection to nature

Testimonials:
FR - "It was so nourishing to connect with nature in this deep way. It's so much easier in a group with an excellent guide, though I also feel inspired to do more forest bathing myself. I'd highly recommend it to others."
