Earlier this month was the chance to celebrate the Celtic festival of Imbolc, marking the beginning of spring. Despite, this, February can seem like a tough month, so it seems like the perfect time to get outside and begin unpacking our understanding of nature connection through all our 5 senses. These are gentle introductions to forest bathing including sensory and meditative exercises. We take time to explore our woodland landscape, tuning in to our micro and macro awareness of nature and noticing how it communicates with us. The session is 3 hours and will take place at the Surrey Wildlife Trust's private wildlife reserve Nower Wood. See here for details on the location https://www.surreywildlifetrust.org/nature-reserves/nower-wood-educational-nature-reserve
We'll meet in the car park 10-15 minutes before to begin promptly at 9.15am, finishing at 12.15pm.
New Beginnings Forest Bathing in Nower Wood
Forest bathing is scientifically proven to improve health. Countless Japanese studies have revealed how it boosts immune systems, reduces stress hormones, enhances mental wellness and bolsters brain health. It can provide emotional healing, decrease blood pressure, improve general sleep-wake cycles, improve relationship skills, reduces stress and reduce aggression.
