Skogsbad på engelska.

Welcome to join uson a collaborative Forest Bathing Walk in English, with possible translation to Swedish and Mandarin Chinese!

Shinrin-Yoku Sweden is very happy to welcome Jackie Kuang, a most appreciated colleague and American-Chinese Certified Forest Therapy Guide from California. Together, Jackie and Petra Ellora invites you for an early autumn Forest Bathing Experience.

Forest Bathing or Shinrin-yoku (森林浴) is the Japanese practice of immersing oneself in the atmosphere of the forest for relaxation and health care. Rooted in scientific research, forest therapy is proving to be one of the most effective antidotes to our modern, technology-driven lifestyles.

On this Forest Bathing walk we will focus on really slowing down and engaging our senses with the natural world for deep relaxation, pleasure and rejuvenation. You will receive a series of guided invitations to connect with nature in a relaxed and easy way. The walk cover less than a mile, last about 3 hours, and end with a tea ceremony.

No experience necessary.
