Benefits of Forest Therapy
Forest Therapy, also known as “Shinrin-Yoku” refers to the practice of spending time in forested areas for the purpose of enhancing health, wellness, and happiness. The practice follows the general principle that it is beneficial to spend time bathing in the atmosphere of the forest. In this class, we will spend time in nature in a way that invites healing interactions. There is a long tradition of this in cultures throughout the world.
We encourage becoming fully present through an evolving series of invitations given by our Association of Nature and Forest Therapy (ANFT) certified guide, who has learned to listen deeply to the forest and often co-create these invitations in the moment, working in partnership with the forest and what it offers. Each invitation is crafted to help participants slow down and open our senses, giving the forest access to our emotional, physical, psychological, and spiritual being.
