Into the Woods
Slow down. Breathe. Connect.
We know all too well the stresses and hectic pace of modern life. Now more than ever, people are searching for ways in which to switch off, relax and feel more centered. Forest bathing is a wonderful practice to support you in this, though to many it is still relatively unknown.
You may have heard of this practice before, but feel unsure about what exactly it entails, how you might apply some of its techniques in your daily life, or be curious about what you might expect on a guided forest bathing walk.
Into the Woods is here to gently introduce you to this practice. In this telecircle, we will gather once a week for 3 weeks in order to connect with ourselves, nature and one another. During our time together, you will:
-
Learn about the Japanese origins of shinrin-yoku (forest bathing) and its potential health benefits from a certified forest therapy guide.
-
Get the opportunity to connect with other women from the comfort of your own home.
-
Learn easy forest bathing techniques that you can practice at home in order to feel more grounded, relaxed and creative.
​
Spaces in the circle are limited to 10, in order to keep our circle small and intimate. A minimum of 5 is required in order for the journey Into the Woods to proceed - so feel free to bring a friend along!
​
Each session includes ...
-
A live, guided forest bathing invitation that you can take part in from the comfort of your home.
-
E-workbook with invitation for an additional nature connection technique to try out before our next gathering, as well as journalling prompts to support your exploration.
-
The invitations in the workbook are there to support your nature connection time and are not mandatory. If you do choose to try out the weekly invitation, it shouldn't take more than 20 minutes of your time.
-
-
Additionally, there is the opportunity to share with other women in circle what you have discovered during the week between calls - if that feels good for you.
-
Access to a recording of our session which expires after 72 hours - in case you could not make one of our gatherings.
