Forest baths
In Japan, Shinrin-yoku (forest bath) is a popular and recognised medical practice. Nature benefits are well-known: reduces stress levels, decreases depression and burnout symptoms, helps with ADHD, supports the healing process for all diseases, etc.
Forest therapy is a way to connect to natural elements and therefore connecting to yourself, and take charge of your healing and development, which is key for me in everything I teach: an invitation to claim back your power on your physical, emotional and mental health. Connection to nature also supports our connection to the Sacred and the spiritual world. My invitation is a slow meditative and sensory walk, with a variety of static and dynamic practices, letting go rituals, moments to set intentions and pauses for contemplation. Through our 5 senses, we slow down, we relax and re-discover the world with new glasses on: listen to the silence, the birds, the wind in the trees; observe the colors, the shapes, animal tracks; smells the plants and leaves; taste wild fruits; marvel at everything and connect to your inner child's heart; stroke the grass with your hands, feel the sole of your feet on the Earth, or hug a tree...
During forest bathing, nature is more than just a place, it becomes our partner. There is nothing to achieve in the practices, you just need to want to try out new things and enjoy experimenting. ![]() TESTIMONIALS
