Forest Bathing+ An Introduction at RSPB The Lodge: Saturday 7th December

Our Forest Bathing+ sessions at RPSB The Lodge consist of a 2-hour gentle walk under the canopy of trees, amongst beautiful woodland. You’ll be guided through a series of sensory exercises designed to develop a deeper connection with nature, calming body and mind, before we conclude with a guided relaxation.

During the session your Forest Bathing+ Guide will share some of the science that shows why time with trees is so good for us, including research into the surprising secret benefits of breathing woodland air. Our main aim, however, is to help you unwind.

Slowing right down and focusing on nature allows us to step away from our busy minds, letting worries and cares melt away. We experience the natural world in a different way, perhaps like a child would, seeing things in more detail, with clarity and awe. You'll never look at woodland in the same way again!

We are looking forward to sharing the restorative power of nature with you!

About The Forest Bathing Institute (TFBI)

Since its foundation in 2018 by Gary Evans and Olga Terebenina, guides from The Forest Bathing Institute have led hundreds of Forest Bathing+ sessions for thousands of people. We know it works from the transformations we have witnessed.

Science backs us up: there is a vast and ever-growing body of evidence showing the potential benefits of forest bathing from normalising blood pressure and reducing stress, to improving sleep and enhancing immune function.

TFBI itself is heavily involved in research with numerous universities across the globe, and studies have shown that our Forest Bathing+ sessions boost mood and nature connection, while reducing negative emotions such as depression and fatigue.
