My Heart is the Forest - Family Forest Bathing

Join me for a playful and heartfelt Forest Bathing walk among the trees at Macclesfield Forest!

You will be guided mindfully through the forest, noticing all of your senses and taking part in nature connection activities, games and mindfulness. Each activity is an invitation to explore your surroundings curiously and to rest and connect with the forest, feeling fully in the present moment...moving or still!

Forest Bathing is an ancient wellness practice originating in Japan in the 1980's. The Japanese use the name 'Shinrin - Yoku', which literally means to bathe among the trees...no swimming costumes are needed though!

Benefits of Forest Bathing:

- Studies show that tree essential oils (phytoncides) boost your immune system,  improve anxiety, improve sleep and emotions.

- Nature connection can help slow down your thoughts and mindfully focus on things that give you joy and pleasure.
