Welcome to Forest Bathing!

Join Elisabetta for this rejuvenating experience in the heart of nature.

Forest Bathing or Shinrin-yoku, is a Japanese practice that involves immersing oneself in a forest environment to promote mental and physical well-being.

Forest bathing is all about immersing in the beauty of the forest, allowing its calming energy to restore and rejuvenate you. Leave your worries behind and let the peaceful surroundings restore your mind, body, and soul.

What to Expect:

• A unique sensory experience
• Simple Mindful breathing exercises
• Connecting with nature on a deeper level
• Woodland Tea Ceremony

Come dressed comfortably and be prepared to unwind amidst the soothing sounds of the forest. No previous experience required, just an open heart and a willingness to embrace the tranquility around you.

**Forest Bathing** offers a unique opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and reconnect with the natural world.
