Join one of our forest bathing sessions in Surrey!

Forest bathing, also known as forest therapy or Shinrin-yoku, is the practice of spending time in nature and exploring with your senses. It encourages us to slow down both physically and mentally and connect with ourselves and the environment around us.

When we spend time outside, we are soaking up the benefits afforded to us by the plants and trees growing around us. Research has shown that forest bathing can help lower our blood pressure, reduce our levels of stress hormones and improve our heart health. It also nurtures feelings of relaxation and calmness as well as more positive thoughts and feelings.

Join us for a forest bathing session in the secluded Nower Wood Nature Reserve and take some time to reconnect with yourself and nature.

Research has shown that forest bathing can have positive impacts on your health, like lowering your blood pressure and stress levels, and mental wellbeing, by increasing positive thoughts and lowering anxiety.

You’ll be led by forest therapy practitioner, Amy, in this session which is designed to encourage you to slow down and explore your surroundings through your senses. Here's what to expect:

  • Introduction to forest bathing and the area

  • Guided drop-down invitation

  • Series of exploratory invitations

We want to make every session as accessible as possible for attendees. If you have any health conditions or accessibility requirements, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can ensure you are able to participate fully. You will be able to provide this information when booking.

  • This was my first time forest bathing and I didn’t really have much knowledge of what to expect. I had such a wonderful relaxing time. It was such a lovely break from noisy and overwhelming day to day life. I came away with a new appreciation for nature and felt so peaceful and relaxed. Amy is really knowledgable and put me at ease for the whole session. Will definitely be back for sessions in the future!
