To get a feel for what it involves (no actual bathing/ swimming!), here's what Tracey, who joined a recent session in Chelsea Park had to say:
'I thoroughly enjoyed the forest bathing session with Helen and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to slow down and reconnect with nature.
Having worked professionally with flowers and plants for many years, I thought I was someone who really noticed nature. I've always loved pointing out interesting plants, birds and seasonal changes when walking with my children, and I still do today. But this experience was something quite different.
By slowing the pace right down, Helen gently encouraged us to engage with the woodland using all of our senses. We noticed the subtle scents in the air, the different textures of bark and leaves, the sounds around us, the play of light through the trees and countless tiny details that would normally go unnoticed. It wasn't about walking further or seeing more – it was about seeing more deeply.
It was a wonderfully mindful experience that left me feeling grounded, peaceful and much more connected to the natural world. I came away with a renewed appreciation for the beauty that's all around us, even in a familiar local park. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.'
