Japanese Forest Immersion with Karen Bobowick

$35

Spring Variation

Forest Immersion, or shinrin-yoki (also known as Forest Bathing), is a Japanese mindfulness practice that encourages slowing down and fully immersing oneself in the soothing atmosphere of a forest. It is about being present, engaging all senses, and connecting deeply with the natural world.

Benefits of Forest Immersion include reduced stress, improved mood, enhanced mental clarity, and a strengthening of the immune system. Studies have shown that the calming effect of the forest can lower cortisol levels, heart rate, and blood pressure, promoting overall well-being and a sense of peace.

Our guide, Karen Bobowick, is a licensed psychotherapist with certifications in Forest Bathing and Mindfulness Ecotherapy.
