Japanese Forest Bathing
Shinrin in Japanese means “forest,” and yoku means “bath.” So shinrin-yoku means bathing in the forest atmosphere, or taking in the forest through our senses.
It is the simple act of being in nature, connecting with it through our senses of sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch. Shinrin-yoku is like a bridge. By opening our senses, it bridges the gap between us and the natural world.

Time to Unplug
We are nearing a future where more than half of the world’s population will live in cities. We are living in a time when the average American spends most of our lives indoors.
Good news: even a small amount of time in nature can have a positive impact on our health.
A two-hour forest bath will help you to unplug from technology and slow down. It will bring you into the present moment and de-stress and relax you.
