About this event

Shinrin-yoku is the practice of walking slowly through the woods, in no hurry, for a morning, an afternoon or a day.

You bathe in the environment of the forest, using all your senses to experience nature upclose. It is a simple natural therapy that has been done for many years.

With Shinrin-Yoku, trees provides fresh oxygen so you can take a deeper breath and the green colours of the leaves sooth your eyes, sounds of birds and water from creek calm the noise in your head and you feel the breeze on your skin.
