SPECIAL: International Day of Forests

(Re)connecting to nature

No life without forests. Forests are a precious resource, not only in the fight against climate change, but also for our personal relaxation and regeneration.

Forest bathing is a wonderful opportunity to experience for yourself how beneficial the forest is for our mental and physical health as well as for our overall well-being.

On this day of the forest, we will discover a different side of it that you may not have seen before. We will marvel at its wonderful diversity, take the time to experience its uniqueness and benefit from its regenerating effect on body, mind and soul.

Look forward to:

• A journey into the wonderful diversity of the forest with all your senses.
• Sensory immersion into the forest atmosphere at your own pace.
• Spending precious moments in harmony with nature - and with yourself.
• Experiencing the benefits of forest bathing for body, mind and soul.
• (Re)discovering our connection with the forest.

I invite you to:

• Shinrin Yoku/forest bathing exercises for all senses.
• Mindfulness and breathing exercises that help you slow down and enjoy the moment.
• Solo time - moments of silence just for you.
• Change of perspective - see nature (and yourself) with different eyes.
