Forest Bathing

Forest Bathing

Back

Drop into your body and out of your mind as Rachel Corby, plant whisperer, rewilding coach and author, guides you to slowly, quietly - touch, taste, smell, see and listen your way through the beautiful woods. Blood pressure drops and layers of stress are shed the deeper and further you go, so much so that you fully inhabit your body and all your concerns melt away.

Rachel was first introduced to the concept of Forest bathing (Shinrin Yoku) which was developed in Japan in the 1980s while living and working in Tokyo in the mid-1990s. She has been practising it ever since and loves to share this wonderful forest medicine. Her work has been featured in many publications from Elle Decoration Magazine to Herefordshire & Wye Valley Life. She is a regular guest on BBC Radio Gloucestershire where they ran a feature on one of her forest bathing sessions several years ago.

Adults only.

Participation is free, sign up online.

Meet at the Meeting Point at the North Arena Entrance no later than 15minutes before your session starts, where Rachel will meet you to escort you to the start point.
