WHAT IS FOREST BATHING?
relieve stress – recharge your body – refresh your mind
– find your own nature
Going on a Forest Bath is going on an immersive wandering in forest and nature.
During Forest Bathing you deeply restore the basic healthy connection between nature and you.
Forest Bathing means consciously exposing yourself to nature through body and mind, and especially your senses. It’s tapping into nature’s cure.
But why?
Exposing ourselves to nature creates an immense positive effect on our mental and physical health. It’s something the human kind instinctively knows since always. Recent scientific research is now unambiguously confirming this.

HOW COME?
As humankind, we are evolutionary hard-wired to connect with natural elements.
But technological evolution and urban living have cut us off of our daily interfering with the natural world. This results in a wide range of physical and mental problems of which we are only now becoming aware. But our bodies and minds still recognise nature’s elements easily and react instantly whenever we get in touch with our (literally) natural habitat.
It is time for us to reconnect.
