What is Nature and Forest Therapy?
Nature and Forest Therapy: Reconnecting with Nature for Well-Being
Learn to slow down and step into the serene embrace of nature anywhere on the planet. A guided Nature and Forest Therapy event is designed to rejuvenate your body, mind, and spirit. Inspired by forest bathing or Shinrin-yoku in Japan, forest therapy is a guided practice to help you immerse in the sights, sounds, and scents of the natural world to foster deep relaxation, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being. Time in nature is being prescribed by Mayo Clinic and doctors around the world and empowers individuals to slow down, be refreshed and reconnect with oneself, other people and all living beings.
What is Forest Therapy?
Forest Therapy is a guided experience that invites participants to engage all their senses in the natural world. Unlike a typical hike or nature walk, this therapeutic practice encourages a mindful, slow-paced exploration of the natural world. Studies have shown that this immersion in nature helps lower stress levels, boost immunity, improve mood, and promote mental clarity.
Why Wait?
This Nature and Forest Therapy experience offers more than just an outdoor adventure; it’s an opportunity to restore your mental and emotional health in an increasingly fast-paced world. Experience the calming effects of nature with One With Nature. This walk will leave you feeling refreshed, balanced, and more in tune with your original natural habitat and fellow creatures. Also offering a series of classes to build your own skills of slowing down and reaping the benefits in nature on your own.
