Join Caroline from Well With Nature to have a go at forest bathing at the Beltane Wellness Festival.
Forest therapy involves forest bathing… immersing your senses in nature as you slow down and reconnect with nature and yourself. It originated in Japan in the 1980s due to a national health crisis and stress related illnesses. Scientific research established the benefit of forest bathing to reduce stress, improve attention, boost immunity and improve mood. These benefits are due to various factors in the forest which reduce stress:-
Phytoncides (natural oils released by trees)
Fractal patterns in nature (repetitive branching patterns in trees etc)
Negative ions in the air near moving water
Microbes in the forest soil boost the immune system.
The practice involves slowing down, connecting with your senses and following invitations to deepen your connection with the forest, allowing the natural world to promote healing and wellbeing.
