Free Forest Bathing + Session: nature based mindfulness to deeply relax

Feedback from a previous participant: 'The whole experience was extraordinary: my whole mind, body and senses had a complete reset. Naomi is so knowledgeable and a brilliant speaker and leader. Every element of the gentle walk taught us so much about our senses and nature and it all finished with a wonderful relaxation on the ground and delicious tea and biscuits. I want to do this again! ' (K.Horner)

Immerse yourself in the magic of the woodland, where the leaf light glows, the birds sing and time slows down.

Forest Bathing involves slowly immersing or bathing in the woodland atmosphere (no swimsuits needed!). It is an invitation to move from your mind with its never-ending stream of thoughts into the present moment, the opportunity to simply 'be'.

We will go on a slow paced-walk through the healing woodland landscape, pausing to connect with the nature around us through sensory-based activities and mindfulness practices. This will culminate in the 'treelaxtion' at the end of the session, a time for deep-relaxation under the tree canopy. Take in the beauty of Autum as the leaves burst into colour and we gently move from one season into another.

Research indicates that forest bathing can have numerous health benefits including: reduction in blood pressure, lowers stress levels, improves energy levels and mood, boosts the immune system and improves the quality of sleep.

Come join me for a rejuvenating **Forest Bathing + session** at the beautiful Manor Wood (near to Grafham village). This privately owned ancient woodland is a special place where it feels like time really does slow down and you are away from it all. The fact it is ancient woodland means it is an optimal environment for the possible health benefits of forest bathing. All efforts will be made to welcome you, make you feel comfortable and provide opportunity for you to deeply relax. This in-person event is the perfect opportunity to unwind. Don't miss out on this chance to exhale, relax and connect with nature and yourself.

The session is free because I am currently training to become a Forest Bathing Guide with The Forest Bathing Institute and welcome your feedback in lieu of payment.Please note an assessor will be present at this session as part of my qualification. Please be assured the assessor will only be interested in me as a guide and you will not need to do anything other than relax and enjoy the session!
