Forest Bathing Peer Facilitator Group
Coming soon - dates TBC
Be part of a group exploring the Japanese practice of Shinrin Yoku (also known as Forest Bathing) and how to lead our own simple sessions with friends or family. At each group, we’ll learn skills that bring us back to nature and create space in our busy lives, and we’ll consider how to practice this with others.
