The Forest Bathing Experience: Reconnect with Nature | New Moon

About this event

**English-speaking session**

What is Forest Bathing?
Forest bathing, or Shinrin-yoku, is the Japanese practice of immersing yourself in the atmosphere of nature. Just as you soak up the warmth of the sun while sunbathing, here you allow the essence and stillness of the landscape to settle within you. It is a slow, meditative way of experiencing the world around you. During our session, I will guide you with gentle invitations to open your senses and quiet the mind. There is no goal to reach and nothing you need to achieve. You may simply be, exactly as you are. Nature does the rest.

✦ Low pace: Slow walk, not a long hike
✦ No water: Sensory immersion, not a swim
✦ No forest needed: Any natural landscape works - it is a method
✦ Inclusive: No special gear or experience required

Why forest bathing?
Originating in Japan, forest bathing is a scientifically proven method for restorative connection. Research shows that it calms the nervous system, lowers blood pressure, and strengthens the immune system. Beyond the physical benefits, it is about deepening your bond with the natural world. It invites you to slow down, feel, and find a sense of peace within yourself. The dunes are a beautiful place for this experience.

Good to know
• Small stools are available for sitting throughout the session.
• I will conclude our journey with forest tea and a small treat, allowing you to gently return from the experience.
• This session takes place under the new moon, a moment of deep rest and quiet beginnings. The dark sky offers us a fresh, clean slate, making it the perfect time to turn inward and feel into what we truly wish to invite into our lives. It invites us to honor this peaceful pause, plant new seeds of intention, and gently step into the potential of the cycle ahead.

Who am I?
I’m Gwendolyn. Nature is a place of healing and homecoming for me. I love to guide others to experience that same sense of peace and connection. In my sessions, I create a warm and safe space where you don’t have to "do" anything except be present. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me!

“In the rustling of the leaves and the touch of the wind, you will find a moment of pure presence. Forest bathing invites you to slow down, feel, and come home to yourself.”
