About us
It's all about Forest Bathing
Founded in 2022, our core service revolves around Forest Therapy. We have a deep-rooted commitment to harnessing the healing power of nature and have crafted a unique and transformative experience for individuals seeking solace, rejuvenation, and connection with the natural world. Our forest therapy programs are curated based on a proven research framework that guides participants through a series of invitations and sensory experiences, designed to deepen their connection with the forest environment and themselves.
In each curated forest therapy program, we integrate mindfulness practices, guided nature walks, and sensory engagement, inspired by the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing. Shinrin-yoku involves immersing oneself in nature, mindfully engaging with the forest through all the senses. By drawing from this ancient practice and combining it with modern mindfulness techniques, we create a harmonious blend that allows participants to fully experience the therapeutic benefits of the forest.
One of the reasons forests are such potent sources of healing is the presence of phytocides. Phytocides are volatile organic compounds emitted by plants, such as trees and shrubs. These natural chemicals have been found to have a range of beneficial effects on human health. When we breathe in the air in a forest, we inhale these phytocides, which can have a positive impact on our immune system, reduce stress levels, and improve overall well-being.
Our dedicated team of certified forest therapy guides, trained in accordance with the ANFT standards, are passionate about facilitating meaningful encounters between people and forests. They skillfully lead participants through the standard sequence, guiding them to engage with the forest in a way that promotes relaxation, presence, and connection. By spending time in the forest and inhaling the phytocides, participants can experience firsthand the health benefits associated with these natural compounds.
Through our innovative approach, we aim to inspire a deeper appreciation for the therapeutic benefits of nature and ignite a collective movement towards a more harmonious and sustainable future. By offering transformative forest therapy experiences rooted in the ANFT standard sequence and inspired by Shinrin-yoku, we strive to foster a profound sense of well-being, reconnecting individuals with the natural world, and nurturing a greater understanding of the interdependence between humanity and the environment. The presence of phytocides in the forest air further enhances the healing potential of our programs, contributing to the overall well-being of our participants.
Join us on a transformative forest therapy journey and experience the profound healing power of nature.
