🌿 Nature Hike in Bokrijk - Door Het Water (15 km Loop)

🌿 Nature Hike in Bokrijk - 15 Km Loop
I was initially drawn to this place by the open-air museum and the road crossing the lake. But while exploring the forest, I discovered an even more fascinating area with wild lakes and hidden paths . There’s also a lovely arboretum to visit along the trail!
Easy flat hike. 4.5 Km/h

To stay true to the original spirit of our group — which aims to incorporate various aspects of Forest Bathing 🌲🧘 — this time, you'll be introduced to a brief and gentle technique involving the sound “I’M”
This sound is rooted in many ancient traditions 🕉️ and serves the purpose of gently shifting your point of perception:
from personality identification to Real Self identification 🌟
It will be a light-hearted and playful introduction — a funny initial attempt to reconnect with the deeper essence of who we are.
