Nurtured by Nature Forest Therapy Claimed

Trained and certified by the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy, Ellen offers participants a chance to experience the relational healing power of nature. Shinrin-Yoku, which translates as 'forest bathing', originated in the 1980s in Japan as a way to promote the health benefits of exposure to natural environments. Inspired by Shinrin-Yoku and practiced worldwide, Forest Therapy is a slow meditative walk in a natural setting following a standard sequence of elements. Participants discover the profound impact of forest therapy on mental and physical well-being. Held with the assistance of a guide trained to facilitate the participant’s focused attention to their sensory experience, the physical and mental health benefits of one guided forest therapy experience can last up to seven days. Join us to explore the healing qualities of nature and deepen your understanding of your place in the natural world.
