What is Forest Therapy?
What is Forest Therapy?
Forest Therapy is a nature-based intervention grounded in the Forest Bathing practice of sensory connection, effortless attention, and immersing the senses in the forest atmosphere. Growing evidence supports the benefits of spending time in nature as therapy for a range of physical and mental health conditions (see ecotherapy for example).
Join Diarmuid on a 6-session Forest Therapy course. Forest Therapy Practitioners work in partnership with nature, enhancing your nature connection. Forest therapy is different to exercise in nature, and it is not wild swimming. It is about improving wellbeing by being in, and experiencing the benefits of, nature rather than passing through nature unaware.
