Forest bathing for sensory activation

Let us leisurely drift along the path together, absorb the messenger substances of the forest, marvel at the new "green" diversity, and consciously open our senses: we activate our olfactory nerves for the fresh scent of the forest, direct our eyes to the countless wonderful color variations of spring, listen to the enchanting songs of the birds, and awaken our taste buds. Various guided exercises help to consciously experience the effects of this forest bathing. FOREST BATHING... also known as Shinrin-Yoku, is a Japanese nature therapy method that has been known since 1982. This term simply refers to a "stay in the forest environment." Inhale forest air and forest messenger substances (terpenes) - relax - experience nature with all your senses, absorb it, and let it affect you. It is about inner peace, serenity, and enjoying the moment without judgment. With the help of various forest bathing exercises (mindfulness, breathing, sensory perception, etc.), this experience can be made accessible again and become more intense. The positive effects manifest in many ways on the physical, mental, and spiritual levels. Note: The event will take place even in rain! Please bring weather-appropriate clothing/shoes and a seating pad!
