Nature / Forest Therapy (Shinrin-Yoku)
Forest Therapy is a gentle practice that involves moving very slowly and mindfully through nature while soaking it in with all of our senses. It is a relaxing experience that connects people to their natural environment through sensory-based invitations. As a certified Guide, your session follows National Nature and Forest Therapy Guidelines for enhanced benefits.
Studies show the further we get away from nature the higher our stress levels.
Benefits include:
-
Decreased risk of heart attack
-
Decreased inflammation
-
Mood-boosting (de-stressor)
Details The sessions last approximately 3.5 hours. I'll offer you invitations to experience and be with nature through your senses. I am constantly amazed how nature always seems to provide what the participants need on that day. As a certified guide, we say that we merely open the door.
I'd love to introduce you and/or your group to this experience.
