What to Wear/Bring

To get the most from your experience, please wear/bring with you:

Plenty of warm layers of clothing (the temperature of woodlands is cooler, even in the summer, and we will be moving very slowly and entering our parasympathetic nervous system so it is easy to get cold)
Long sleeves and long trousers to protect against stings and bites
Waterproofs
Sturdy footwear
A picnic mat or groundsheet (a large bin bag will do the job if needed). Alternatively, a small foldable chair, if that is more appropriate for you.
A non-breakable mug for optional guided tea-drinking
Other weather-related essentials (e.g. suncream, gloves, additional warm layers)

We recommend you bring these items in a backpack or similar to keep your hands free to explore!

Please note that if you do not have suitable clothing your guide may decide it is not safe for you to participate in the session.

Accessibility Note

We will be slowly moving through the forest and stopping regularly for sensory activities. Towards the end of the session, it’s likely that there will be the opportunity to sit or lie down for a longer relaxation activity – you are welcome to bring a small foldable chair to use during the session if this is more suitable for you. There may be some benches available along the route.

Please note that the route will likely include uneven ground, short inclines and some venturing off-path. If you have any mobility issues, we recommend you join one of our accessible forest bathing sessions which uses the accessible paths around the woodland and adopts a particularly gentle, slow pace, with plenty of opportunities to sit and rest.

Forest Bathing is generally safe and beneficial for everyone, but if you have any severe medical conditions or health related concerns (including mental health issues, major surgeries, seizures or severe allergies), we recommend getting advise from a medical professional before participating in a session, if appropriate.

If you require any adaptations or special considerations, or if you would like to know more about the accessibility of the event, please contact your guide via rootedwellbeinguk@gmail.com in advance of the session.

Other important info:

No dogs allowed.

Whilst forest bathing embraces all rainy, snowy and sunny weather, it may be necessary to alter or cancel an event if it is not safe to proceed – this is most likely in the event of high winds or thunderstorms.
