Shinrin Yoku (Japanese Forest Bathing) in the Woods

Shinrin Yoku (Japanese Forest Bathing) 

Strike the perfect balance with forest bathing on the spring equinox at Finnebrogue Woods. This is the time of year when day and night are of equal length, symbolising balance as we enter fully into spring, a time of renewal and growth in both nature and at a personal level. 

Shinrin Yoku (Japanese Forest Bathing) emerged in Japan, but its physical and mental health benefits have been endorsed by the NHS Health Research Authority.  A typical session lasts two hours and you will be immersed in the woodlands to take part in a series of sensory meditations; sound, smell, sight, touch and even taste to help you slow down and reconnect with nature in a very deep and profound way.

The immersion will be led by Tony Bailie who is one of the few qualified Forest Therapy practitioners working on the island of Ireland.
