What we'll do
A workshop to experience the feeling of empowerment when we connect with the natural world. Forest Bathing helps us sink into a light, relaxed, absorbed state of mind, where we’re more open to feeling at one with Nature. You will take part in some simple Forest Bathing Invitations which help us feel a closeness with Nature, and which can be adapted to any setting and audience. There will be opportunities for experiential, reflective and interactive learning as together we slow down, notice our own response to the activity, and discover the diversity of responses within the group. As humans we have evolved to connect, giving and receiving cues of safety in our daily interactions. Yet highly sensitive or distressed people can find human contact overwhelming. By connecting with Nature, they can feel a sense of safety, and reclaim their courage to explore. “Forest Bathing has made such an enormous difference to my mental state. Before I started I was seriously struggling to cope - I had lost my confidence completely. I now go out most days, and my close friend said she was truly amazed by the transformation in me” Adult learner who rediscovered her courage through connecting with Nature.

About your mentors
Jan Cafearo
Forest Bathing guide and champion for Nature
I'm passionate about human and planetary health, and believe they are inextricably intertwined. I've brought together my two areas of work as a holistic physical therapist, and Forest Bathing guide, by creating Nature Connection for Wellbeing courses - for the good of people, our society, and the planet. When not working I'm usually found in my veggie garden, walking, cooking, and making willow baskets.
Nic Harding

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
