Forest Bathing and Mindfulness in Nature is such a simple concept yet can be amazingly soothing and transformative. It helps us to slow down, come into the present moment and just enjoy the natural environment around us. Our focus is drawn away from the constant stream of thoughts in our head to a more embodied presence of sensing and feeling. It’s a slow walk around a woodland trail with invitations to explore the environment through mindfulness and relaxation. Forest Bathing is amazingly simple yet powerfully soothing and rejuvenating. Described by one of our participants as an Outdoor Spa for the Mind.

Forest Bathing includes some gentle breathing exercises which bring the additional benefit of inhaling the woodland aromatherapy, including the tree chemicals known as phytoncides which can help to boost our immune system. Monthly sessions are available at Leonardslee all year round and at Standen House, National Trust Woodlands, May to October. Make a day of it if you can. Both places make a wonderful day out, lots to see and do after Forest Bathing. Ticket price includes entry for the whole day!
