Forest bathing, or Shinrin Yoku, is the experience of immersing yourself in nature to improve wellbeing. The practice will involve periods of walking, alongside a series of invitations (activities) to encourage relaxation, mindfulness, and nature connection. Sounds lovely, how long will it last?We will be out in the woodland for around 2 ½ hours. Whilst we aim to be back long before it gets dark, you may feel more comfortable bringing a torch with you for your way home.Will there be a lot of us?This is a small group walk with a maximum of six of us. We find a smaller group like this makes the experience nicer for everyone and helps to make sure we finish on time. If there is demand, we may run more of these in the future.﻿Is it suitable for children?﻿This event is for adults or young adults who do not need supervision and are comfortable spending time in silence. Future forest bathing events that cater to children may be possible.﻿Do I have to pay?This event is free but booking is essential. I’m afraid you will not be able to join us if you turn up without booking. However, please ensure that you only book if you plan to attend. This is a small group event and tickets are very limited. Please make sure you cancel your ticket if you can no longer attend so that someone else may be able to take your place.Ok, where do we meet?Meet me (Jade) at the Gillies Hill Garages entrance (what3words: ///wires.smashes.each). I can send you more detailed instructions on where to meet when you book. The finish point will be the same as the start location.But do I need to be really fit?You do not need to be very fit to enjoy this walk, but there are areas of uneven terrain and a few hilly bits. Fine, what shall I bring with me?The woodland is very muddy in parts, and I strongly encourage you to wear waterproof walking boots with a good grip that you don’t mind getting dirty. Winter is coming, and layers with a decent waterproof jacket is a must. There will be a couple of occasions where we will be standing still, and at these times, you can feel that chill quickly! There may also be moments when you feel like perching on the ground, and it might be helpful to bring a sit mat or similar to sit on (even a plastic bag might work!). It is advisable not to wear any strong smelling perfume, face or hair products as it can make it more difficult to attune your sense of smell during the session.You may also want to bring a bottle of water, although I will provide a small cup of nettle tea and a biscuit at the end of the event. Please ensure any allergies are noted on the booking form.Will the event still run if it rains?Yes! Rain can actually add to the experience of forest bathing because it provides additional sensory stimulation (e.g. sounds and smell). Please just ensure you are dressed appropriately for the weather. In cases of extreme weather the event may be postponed. Is there anything else I need to know?When you book you will be required to give details of any medical conditions that may affect you outside, such as allergies or asthma, any mobility issues that may impact you in the session and anything further you think we should know. We also ask for details of an emergency contact should this be necessary. A trained outdoor first aider will be joining us on this walk.But I have other questions!If you have other questions, please feel free to email Jade at: jade.hooper@ccdt.org.uk
