What is Forest Bathing

Forest bathing, or Shinrin-yoku, is a Japanese practice involving slow walks in nature, focusing on sensory engagement and mindfulness. It's not about reaching a destination or engaging in strenuous exercise, but rather about connecting with nature and experiencing its therapeutic benefits through all your senses. You can expect to slow down, pay attention to the details of your surroundings, and feel a sense of calm and well-being
