In My Nature
Forest Therapy is a guided wellbeing practice that helps you slow down and reconnect with the natural world. Inspired by Shinrin-Yoku (Forest Bathing) in Japan, it invites you to use your senses—sight, sound, touch, smell, and breath—to experience nature in a deeper, more restorative way.
It’s not hiking, exercising, or learning about plants. It’s a gentle, unhurried experience where the forest becomes the therapist. As we move slowly and notice the living world around us, our nervous system begins to settle. Breathing softens. The mind becomes clearer. The body remembers how to relax.
Inward, Forest Therapy helps us reconnect with our own inner landscape.
Slowing down allows us to hear ourselves again — our needs, our emotions, our intuition. The nervous system softens, the mind clears, and the heart has room to breathe. We remember that rest is natural, that belonging is our birthright, and that we are part of something alive, intelligent, and supportive.
Outward, Forest Therapy strengthens our relationship with the living world.
As we notice the textures of leaves, the rhythm of waves, the movement of wind, we reconnect with the Earth not as scenery, but as something we are in relationship with. This relationship encourages care, respect, and stewardship — not because we are told to, but because we feel it.
Every Forest Therapy walk is gentle, slow, and accessible to all abilities.

There is no right or wrong way to experience Forest Therapy. You are invited simply to notice, feel, listen, breathe, and follow what your body and heart need in the moment.
