Discover the magic of Forest Bathing, or ‘Shinrin Yoku’, a transformative experience that originated in Japan and is now celebrated worldwide for its incredible benefits to mental and physical health. Forget your swimming costume – our Forest Bathing experience is a gentle walk on the wild side when you can immerse yourself in the serene beauty of our ancient woodlands and discover the significant benefits of nature therapy. You won’t need a towel, but comfy walking shoes and a sense of curiosity.
Picture yourself stepping into the heart of the natural world, where the sounds of the forest, the scent of the trees and the sunlight playing through the leaves create a symphony for your senses. It’s a chance to rediscover yourself through the healing power of nature.
Scientific studies reveal that forest bathing can dramatically lower stress levels, enhance your immune system, and fill you with a profound sense of peace and connection. Imagine feeling the weight of everyday worries lift as you immerse yourself in the beauty and tranquillity of the ancient woodlands and sunken holloways off the beaten track on our Estate.
Join Claire and Sarah, qualified therapists with a deep love for nature and a sense of fun, as they guide you through this enchanting landscape and awaken your creativity. Through their passion for the healing power of the natural world they will help you switch off from the chaos of modern life, offering a much needed mental reset. You will leave with the tools you need to go on your own Forest Bathing adventures.
Don't miss this opportunity to reconnect with nature and yourself.
