Forest therapy
Nature art walk and workshop
Forest therapy
A deeply restorative experience designed to nourish mind, body and spirit.
Based on the Japanese practice of forest bathing - you are invited to slow down and explore through a series of observations and activities.
This is not a hike or a nature walk, but a slow, sensory based experience.
Each session ends with a shared snack and a simple tea 'ceremony'.
