About

Join a guided forest bathing session in Gower to immerse your senses among the trees and enjoy the scientifically proven benefits this brings to your mind and body. Forest bathing is for everyone and we run sessions for individuals, groups and organisations.

Forest bathing is the process of slowly and mindfully immersing your senses in the forest, beneath the tree canopy. It is a practice with its roots in Japan, where the practice of “Shinrin-yoku” began in the 1980s to tackle burnout among workers.

Forest bathing has been scientifically proven to have transformational impacts on both our mental and physical wellbeing. From reducing stress and anxiety to increasing concentration and creativity, research has shown that the benefits of reconnecting with nature are wide-ranging.

A forest bathing session involves a guided, mindful walk amongst the trees. What sets forest bathing apart from hiking is that the pace is slow, the distance is not very far, and the intention is to reconnect with nature and ourselves.
