About this Event

The Long Still

Two hours. No signal. Breathe.

Awaken your senses.

It's not a meditation. You're walking slowly in trees and paying attention.

Turns out your nervous system loves that.

Your phone stays in your pocket. Actually, leave it in your car.

Forest bathing - shinrin yoku -is the practice of spending quiet, unhurried time among trees.

You walk slowly, or stand.

You pay attention to what's around you.

You breathe properly, possibly for the first time all week.

No experience required.

No kit list.

No special clothes.

No mat.

Just you, the trees, and a few hours with no one expecting anything from you.

The research has been building for decades.


Time in trees - not exercise, just presence - measurably;


Reduces cortisol.


Lowers blood pressure.


Strengthens immune function.

The effect on creativity is significant enough that companies in Japan and South Korea now prescribe it.

We're not asking you to believe it. We're asking you to try it once.
