Forest Bathing
Forest Bathing is a form of meditation, relaxation, and self improvement; that has existed long before it was officially named in the 1980’s. In recent years, it has gradually risen in popularity as a way to escape technology related burnout, and to reconnect with forests and nature. Derived from the Japanese term ‘Shinrin Yoku’, it is unsurprising that this unique form of eco-therapy has gained so in popularity. Today’s world does not frequently acknowledge the daily stresses of the technological age, nor our unequivocal need to be connected to nature in ways that modern life does not always allow. _backtothewoods_ hosts 2 hour Forest Bathing sessions for up to 15 individuals at a time; guiding you through this process, helping you to reap the benefits of this time-proven practice. In addition to helping you reconnect to mind, body and soul, Forest Bathing also lowers cortisol levels, reducing stress and anxiety. Take some time to tune in to your senses, be aware of the natural beauty that surrounds you, and immerse yourself in an abundance of peace, positivity and connection. For those who want to go a little deeper, yoga classes are available on demand as well.
