Peace in the Park - Winter Forest Bathing

Join us for a peaceful morning of forest bathing in the winter woodland.
About this Event

Peace in the Park - Forest Bathing / Shinrin Yoku - this is a group event of 6-8 attendees.

A Peace in the Park session is forest bathing and beyond. An intuitive and unique mix of healing, nature spirit, personal development and forest bathing. In the space created, we rediscover our inner peace, relaxation and well-being.

At Peace in the Park, we are free to reconnect with nature, returning to its flow. In a group setting, the energy of this experience can feel amplified as we witness each other's journey.

Small groups of not more than eight for a more profound experience.

There is a silence into which the world cannot intrude. There is an ancient peace you carry in your heart and have not lost.

I invite you to step aside, let go and share a quiet time of listening and being, amongst the trees and the natural environment.

I hold a space for you, inviting you to immerse yourself in our natural environment and guiding you intuitively. A space where tree hugging is a normal healing activity.

The natural environment meets us where we are, we are free to be ourselves, to let go and immerse ourselves in the peace and love of nature. We can experience the healing that we need.

Each session stands alone as a unique experience that opens within the presence of the trees and the plant world.

Forest therapy isn't just a walk in the woods. We actively immerse in the natural environment, taking in the shapes, smells and sounds.

Deep and profound healing changes can be experienced as we enhance our reconnection to the natural environment.

We journey through the beautiful areas, greeting the Sacred Cedar and other trees like Scots pine, experiencing the sweet resin, the birch, sweet chestnut, oak and beech.

The session is intended to be a safe space consisting of a variety of invitations, which may include
