About Forest Bathing
Shinrin-yoku, or 'forest bathing,' originated in Japan in the 1980s and has since spread worldwide as a proven wellness practice. It involves slowly walking through forests, engaging all senses, and absorbing the forest atmosphere.

What to Expect
A certified forest therapy guide leads you on a slow, mindful walk through ancient forests. Stops for meditation, breathing exercises, and tea ceremony in the forest. No hiking experience needed — distances are short and pacing is slow.
How to Prepare
Wear comfortable walking shoes and weather-appropriate layers. Bring a small water bottle. Leave your phone behind or switched off — this is about unplugging.
