Autumn 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.

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 deers, the wind in the trees; observe the colors, the shapes, animal tracks; smells the plants and leaves; marvel at everything and connect to your inner child's heart; connect with the energy of a leaf or a stone, feel  the Earth or 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. 

Group outings:
In Autumn I adapt the walk and the practices to the cold weather. A forest bath will last about 2 hours. It's very important to:
-wear warm clothes and good shoes
-have something to sit on the ground (waterproof blanket, fabric, etc. )
-take your rain jacket.   
We usually leave from  la Givrine or les Pralies (accessible by train or by car, about 1h away from Geneva and Lausanne

Cancellation policy
Please note: the forest bath will only be cancelled in case of really really bad weather, and in that case you will obviously be reimbursed. 
There is no reimbursement if you cancel last minute without a valid reason (less than 36 hours in advance) I offer a 50% on the next outings if you cancel for a real emergency. 
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 rates are based on conscious participation to create a new paradigm, think about our relationship to money, and make alternative medicine available to everyone. To decide the amount you want to pay, think about:
  • The value you give to what you receive, including not only the activity itself but also its preparation and everything necessary for it to take place.
  • Your financial means and the value you give to yourself, your well-being, your health and your transformation​
  • Direct and indirect costs of the activity you are participating in 
  • I give you a range of prices  for your information. If you don't have a lot of money, give what you can but make me an offer (financial or other); if you have a lot of money, give more so that somebody with less money can benefit from my programs. That way everyone is happy :-) ​
ONE-ON-ONE:
Book your morning or afternoon and get the best combination to take care of yourself through a unique experience, a real taste of paradise​!

A 1hr30/2hr - long private guided meditative and sensory walk- the famous forest bath, Shinrin-Yoku,  followed by a 1hr-long session (intuitive energy healing to activate your self-healing power, or choose something else from my toolbox).
It's also possible to just do the forest bathing or the session, but I highly recommend the combination, as nature helps put you in the perfect state to receive a treatment!
