This forest bathing program in the Sonian Forest is suitable for anyone who would like to smell, touch, hear, savor, see and feel nature deep within. We will meet at 9 am at the Sonian Forest and finish at 1 pm. In that time, we will carry out a five-step immersion in the forest and a final closing ceremony in which we will share our impressions. Forest bathing is as much an experience of the self and nature, as it is a meditative practice. Throughout the morning, we will work on ceremonial slow-pacing, and conscious attention, as well as tune into our senses and breath. As we do this, we will regain a sense of balance, bring our levels of anxiety down, enjoy simple details such as the rustle of leaves, and then have a chance to embrace the moment by sharing our impressions with the others in our group.
