Introduction to Forest Bathing
Details
Unwind in the woods on a guided forest bathing walk in a quiet and ancient woodland. A calm and sensory experience. Intended for beginners
What is forest bathing? Come along on this relaxed and fun experience and find out all about what it involves (no water or swimming) how it can improve your physical health and wellbeing, how you can practice it on your own, and most of all enjoy spending a peaceful 2.5 hours in a beautiful and quiet ancient woodland. We’ll be in a small group but you’ll be carrying out guided exercises on your own.
This session is aimed at those who know little or nothing about forest bathing, we’ll chat about the basics and try out some relaxing exercises with the intention that this is a starting point for you to continue practicing on your own, or attend more in depth sessions in future.
You will need to walk around a mile in total, mostly at a slow pace, often on uneven ground. Please bring a blanket to sit on, suitable layers for being in the shade and the time of year, a drink and snack if needed, and wear shoes that you are comfortable walking through the undergrowth in. After rain the ground will be muddy.
This session is a calm and tranquil experience and therefore is aimed at adults, please do not bring dogs on this walk. If it needs to be cancelled due to adverse weather conditions such as a weather warning, or a change in government advice you will be notified 24 hours in advance and will be refunded or able to book on to a subsequent date. I intend to go ahead if light showers are forecast but not if it looks like the session will be miserable due to weather.
Covid-19
My risk assessment takes Covid in to account, and this activity takes current government guidelines into account. It is a very low risk activity with a small group (always under 10) If you have any concerns do let me know.
