About Forest Bathing: Forest Bathing, or "Shinrin-Yoku" in Japanese, is a practice that involves immersing oneself in the natural environment to promote mental and physical well-being. Through mindful observation, deep breathing, and gentle movement, participants can experience a sense of calm and connection with nature.

What to Expect: During this 1.5-hour meetup, we'll guide you through some mindfulness techniques and forest bathing practices designed to awaken your senses and cultivate a deeper connection with the natural world. Together, we'll embark on a leisurely walk through the lush greenery of Prater Park, pausing along the way for guided mindfulness exercises and moments of quiet reflection.

Event Highlights:

• Guided mindfulness meditation to ground ourselves in the present moment.
• Gentle movement exercises to awaken the body and heighten sensory awareness.
• Opportunities for silent contemplation and journaling amidst the tranquil surroundings of the forest.
• Sharing circle to reflect on our experiences and insights gained from the practice.

What to Bring:

• Comfortable outdoor attire suitable for walking and sitting on the ground.
• Water bottle and any snacks you may need to sustain your energy.
• A journal or notebook for recording your thoughts and reflections.
• Open mind and willingness to embrace the healing power of nature.

Important Note: This event will take place rain or shine, so please come prepared for the weather (Unless it’s heavy rain or storm). We kindly ask all participants to respect the natural environment and each other throughout the duration of the meetup.

Let's journey together into the heart of the forest and rediscover the art of mindful living amidst nature's embrace. We look forward to sharing this transformative experience with you!

Warm regards,
Sophie (Vienna Mental Wellness Community) & Claudia (Friendship & Personal Growth)
