Come into the forest, for-rest. In Japanese, it is Shinrin (forest) yoku (bath) which translates in English to “taking in the forest atmosphere“.

A forest or nature bath is time to simply sit, to notice the Earth we live with. We connect with nature by sitting in a spot or spots involving guided invitations or suggestions that immerse participants in the natural world by engaging our major senses. This wellness practice offers an opportunity for moments of reprieve, introspection or to simply experience the benefits of spending time with the outdoor world.

Benefits include:
*Reduced stress
*Boosted immune system
*Increased energy
*Reduced heart rate
*Improved sleep, mood and concentration

My 90-minute forest bathing experience with Dawn was transformative. She guided us to connect deeply with nature, and since that day, I have become more aware of the beauty and serenity that creation offers. This experience continues to enrich my soul in unexpected ways – Susan Gregory
