nervous system regulation * deep grounding * wild reconnection
June 19th, 1300-1600. Near Stroud, Gloucestershire
Join me for a fantastic, deeply relaxing, afternoon of reconnection. Take some time out from your busy schedule for three hours of gentle walking and wooded bliss.
Begin by taking in the sweeping views over the Severn Vale, before dropping in and listening to what your body has to say about how you are doing. It is so easy to overlook the subtle messaging that is constantly coming in from our nervous systems, where and how we hold tension, and our energy levels. This will be a master class in how to tune back in, with the forest as our wonderful and generous guide.
Come back to yourself through this simple practice. There is no right or wrong when it comes to forest bathing, just a long deep uncoiling of tension, negativity, worries.
As the trees capture our attention and captivate our senses all we need do is trust, and remember that we belong among the trees. Trees are our beloved relatives, they they stood alongside our ancestors many many moons ago. Trees are family. Come celebrate them with me!

3 hours total.

The woodland path is gently sloped and by its nature is uneven. If you have mobility issues contact me before booking to check whether this session will be suitable for you.
I first encountered Forest Bathing, or Shinrin Yoku, while working in Japan during 1997. Subsequently I spent many years learning the art of Plant Whispering, which required many days and weeks sat among plants, and in woodlands, learning of each plant's individual nature and their effects upon my nervous system. I began hosting Forest Bathing sessions in 2010. Since the summer of 2013, I have had a regular slot at Wilderness Festival, bringing Forest Bathing to a wider audience.
