It is rooted in the  Japanese pra ctice of Shinrin-Yoku\, which translates to ’forest bathing’.\n\nHow i t works: A forest walk typically takes 2 hours. The walks are slow\, foll owing approximately a 1 km trail\, providing time for discussions and cont emplative exercises. We wrap up the walk by sharing a nature tea prepared by me. Participants should wear hiking footwear and dress for their comfor t in the forest (view the weather forecast).
