Benefits for body & mind

In life, it is not always what we do that matters, but how we do it. Mindfulness improves the quality of our lives. Forest bathing is about slowing down - because if you walk slowly, you use all your senses, discover more and are in the present moment. The gentle stroll we use during our time in the forest is much more than just movement. The focus is not on reaching a goal, but on experiencing the moment, on re-connecting with the natural world around us and on being with ourselves. In doing so, we can reflect on nature - the external as well as our own, internal. This 'non-doing' is also beneficial for our brain. The restorative power of the forest fosters mental regeneration and strengthens the ability to concentrate.
