What is forest bathing?

Forest bathing (Shinrin- yoku ) is the Japanese practice of slowing down and immersing yourself in the forest atmosphere.

Spending time among trees has been scientifically proven to lower blood pressure, slow heart rates, reduce stress hormone production, boost the immune system and improve general feelings of wellbeing.

Starting again in 2023

The aim of this workshop is to create mindful employees who will take in what is happening in the workplace and not react to it, rather, simply taking in information from their surrounds.

They will be shown the skills to non-judgmentally approach their work, colleagues and management.

Your employees will also receive strategies that they can take away with them and use in their everyday lives to enhance their emotional and mental wellbeing.

Group discussions
Mindful activities, e.g. mindful eating
Guided mindfulness meditation
Mindful bingo
