Forest Bathing with Julie at Mead Botanical Garden

Forest Bathing is inspired by the Japanese practice of ‘shinrin yoku’. Shinrin means forest and yoku means bath. It’s a process where we experience the forest (nature) through our sense. It’s also scientifically been proven that the trees release a chemical called phytoncide. It’s used to protect them from harmful bugs and germs, and helps us do the same in our bodies.

Relax. Let Go. Release. Give Nature…and Receive. ⁣

Time in Nature is essential to ground and embody the goodness Life has to offer. ⁣It is uplifts the mood, boosts the immune system, and relieves stress.

🌳 We’ll sit with nature and listen. ⁣
🌳 We’ll meditation, journal and give into Nature’s invitation. ⁣
🌳 We’ll Forest Bath. Exchange breaths with the trees, and receive their healing.⁣
