"The art of forest bathing is the art of connecting with nature through our senses. All we have to do is accept the invitation"

We walked barefoot, allowed ourselves to breathe deeply for a while, smelt the damp air at 7am, eased into our day by embracing the birds waking up, touched the uneven bark of an old tree...and slowly begun to feel human again..

Does nature worry about how it shows up in the world? Is it constantly checking if it's on time or upset the other species?

Is our irregular world of beauty showing us that everything co-exists just as it is and do we need to feel this within our own beingness?

Our sessions are tailored to nature - just as it is.

Come and try the new you - just as you are :)

Hello

My name is Julli

I have studied mindfulness and meditation for over 30 years. Initially as a means of self-reflection, I slowly began to realize this is the answer to life, and all that it throws at you. If we can find a space to smell something beautiful and earthy, touch an old ancient forest tree and hear the chirp of birdsong and calming sound of water rushing through a stream, then suddenly there is a moment of calm. I have forgotten everything else and am fully here, right now.. wow what a moment.

When I discovered Forest Bathing, ( a Japanese art of mindfulness and meditation centered around nature) not a swim in the woods, although....sounds nice too. suddenly I was intrigued...I studied with The Forest Bathing Institute (TFBI), and qualified as a Forest Bathing guide and mindfulness teacher. They had the science behind what I knew already in my heart which was true, nature has all the answers.

It does seem life is more frantic, polarizing and stressful than ever these days & I personally feel the need to reconnect with nature and ourselves is no longer just a benefit, but a necessity for wellness and longevity.

"Chirping birds, fresh damp smell in the woods after rainfall, glistening dew drops on a spider's web, crisp misty mornings, tree bark fallen to the floor, torn in half but teeming with life.. Autumn leaves crunching under foot. fractal patterns that go on for eternity"

I recently had the pleasure of participating in the mindfulness walk organised as part of our Employee Appreciation Week, and I can't express enough how beneficial it was. Stepping away from the hustle and bustle of our daily routines to immerse ourselves in nature was truly rejuvenating. The guided mindfulness exercises helped me reconnect with my surroundings, clear my mind, and focus on the present moment. The walk not only provided a refreshing break but also fostered a sense of community among colleagues.
