Unfurling Forest Bathing

08/07/2026

It’s great to get completely away… into the wilderness to spend a few months communing with nature far from the constant notifications of modern life.

But sometimes that’s not practical. And the good news is that even a little bit of mindful nature connection can be great for giving you a bit of a mental break and boosting wellbeing. Which is why I love running forest bathing sessions in the wooded areas of Sheffield’s parks, timed to fit with a busy working week.

Next up- a session in the surprisingly magical wood behind the café in Endcliffe Park to start your week off on a mindful, nature connected vibe.

Monday 20th July, 6-7.30pm. Meeting at Endcliffe park café.
Tickets are £14, with a limited number of bring a friend 2 for 1 slots- they are going fast so if you fancy one snap it up soon!

As Angel said at a session in these very woods a little while ago:
“Helen led a guided session through our local park, transforming a familiar place into a sensory-rich forest exploration.
The effects were remarkable-feeling calm, focused, relaxed, and positively uplifted afterwards. It was a much-needed session, perfectly aligning with the challenging week.”

☀️ Feeling hot and bothered, and in need of a bit of headspace for fresh thinking?
🌳 Come join me next Friday, 3rd July in the gorgeous (and cool) woodlands of Grindleford, Peak District for the Summer Reset with Nature https://www.unfurling.uk/offerings/summer-reset-with-nature. We have a fabulous group coming together and a few spots left if you'd like to join.

🦋 A few reflections from Angel Takooree 🏰 after my first ever reset with nature last summer to give you a bit of a feel for the experience:
"A huge thank you to Helen Todd for guiding us through this peaceful experience in a stunning forest location near Sheffield. Surrounded by trees and fresh air, it was the perfect way to reflect and reset.
Her expertise as a certified forest bathing facilitator, combined with the use of appreciative inquiry, made the session enriching by connecting us all with nature and each other… Exploring my kinesthetic and visual learning and my love of nature.
Reconnecting with the natural world is a powerful way to step back from distractions, reduce stress, and regain mental clarity. If you're curious about forest bathing and its benefits, reach out to Helen- she’s amazing! This was my second time joining one of her sessions, and I left feeling calm, rested, and recharged."

One week to go- early bird tickets for my Summer Reset with Nature end 10th June

🌿 Summer Reset with Nature is a day retreat in the Peak District on Friday 3rd July- a blend of forest bathing and nature inspired practices giving you space to reflect, and think about what you want to focus your energy on for the rest of the year.

🌸 It's designed for people who don't have a team to go on an ‘away day’ with, but who could really do with one. Freelancers, people running small organisations, activists... anyone who keeps meaning to press pause but struggles to actually prioritise doing it. Tiny teams also very welcome, as are leaders who could do with some thinking time away from the office.

🗓️ Friday 3rd July, 10am-2:30pm (with the option to stay for a walk in the Peak District afterwards)
💶 Sliding scale pricing from £40 including a tasty lunch (early bird rates until 10th June to encourage procrastinators like me to actually get it in the diary 😉).
📌 Location: Brunts Barn, Grindleford. 10 minutes walk from Grindleford station, on the Sheffield- Manchester train line.

Best place to escape the heat?... Forests of course 🌳. Let's look after them so they can look after us 💚

🌳 Had a gorgeous forest bathing session with Bloom Sheffield
on Wednesday evening, with super lovely feedback.

One person said it felt like a real reset. Another had nearly skipped it because her week was so full-on, but said she was so glad she came and left feeling way more ready to tackle the rest of it.

This is exactly why I love guiding forest bathing sessions- and why I love collaborating with charities and social enterprises. There's something really special about being part of something bigger (and it’s nice to share getting the word out).

🍃 Coming up: a session with Nether Edge and Sharrow Sustainable Transformation: NESST, who do brilliant work on urban wildlife and street trees in my local community on Thursday 18th June https://www.unfurling.uk/activities/forest-bathing-nesst-fundraiser.

Know a charity or social enterprise who might be up for running forest bathing sessions together? I'd love to chat- drop me a message or tag them below 👇

The blossom is starting to turn but so much new life unfurling, just on a little walk in the park. Don't forget to slow down and pay attention, there's so much going on.
