- Booking essential
Wind down on a seasonal Shinrin Yoku session in our woodland on Arnside Knott (27 August) or at Eaves Wood (5 July) with Forest Therapist Delyth Johnson.
Shinrin Yoku (Forest Bathing) is a healing practice involving sensory connection, slowing down and nervous system regulation, by immersing the senses in the atmosphere and nature of the forest.
Improving your connection with nature can lead to significant increases in your wellbeing and spending time doing Shinrin Yoku can help you do just that.
A few hours of mindful exploration in a forest can reduce blood pressure, lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol and improve concentration and memory.
It has also been found that trees release chemicals called phytoncides, which have a protective antimicrobial effect on human bodies and thereby boost the immune system.
