Shinrin Yoku: The Art of Forest Bathing

Experience an ancient wellness practice being rediscovered anew in the 21st century. Join us on a two-hour immersive, meditative and awe-inspiring Japanese forest bathing experience - Shinrin Yoku.

See first-hand how nature’s fractals, sounds and sensations reduce your stress and anxiety and boost your mood. Give yourself permission to disconnect, slow down and intentionally connect your senses to the healing beauty of nature. Benefits include: mood and immune system boost, stress relief, better focus, improved blood pressure and a rejuvenated spirit.
