Hi, I'm Dr Helen Mentink of Komorebi Connection, and I'm training to be a forest bathing guide. Originating in Japan, forest bathing, or shinrin yoku, means “immersing your senses in the atmosphere of the forest”. This is a mindful, nature connection practice that helps to relieve the stresses of daily life, leaving you feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and with a greater appreciation for the natural environment.
Join me on a slow, relaxed walk around Harmony Woods, where we'll be stopping regularly to tune our senses in to the natural environment, often whilst sitting or lying down. Much of the time is spent in silence with a bit of optional sharing here and there, so the session is suitable for adults only please.
This free event is part of my training, so you'll be asked to complete a questionnaire at the start and end of the session.
