Question 1

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Please wear comfortable clothing suitable for the weather and environment (forest). Trainers are advisable as we will be on uneven ground - do not wear flip flops. As we are out in nature there will likely be insects, so covering up is a good idea especially if you are prone to bites.

Question 2

What do I need to bring?

Accepted Answer

Sensible clothing and footwear, water to drink, suncream and insect repellent.

Question 3

I've never done Forest Bathing before

Accepted Answer

Great! You will love it! No experience needed, everything will be explained to you.

Question 4

Can children attend?

Accepted Answer

This depends on how that might affect your experience and the experience of the group; forest bathing is a relaxing and peaceful activity where you disconnect from day to day life in order to reconnect to nature. Also, will they enjoy it? It's up to you!

Question 5

What happens if it rains?

Accepted Answer

Forest Bathing is wonderful in the rain! I will only cancel the session in the event of a storm when it would be unsafe to go into the forest. Just dress appropriately.

Question 6

Do I need a high level of fitness?

Accepted Answer

No, the pace is slow with frequent stops for restful, mindful activities. However we will be outside and moving for 2.5 hours so you need to be able to manage that. The tea ceremony at the end takes place seated on the ground, seat pads will be provided.
