Description
The Japanese term Shinrin-Yoku (森林浴) literally means “forest bathing.”
This practice emerged in Japan during the 1980s as a natural response to the fast-paced modern lifestyle and rising stress-related illnesses.
Since then, countless scientific studies have shown that spending mindful time in direct contact with nature significantly improves physical, emotional and mental health.
During the Shinrin-Yoku Workshop at Ecoherbes, you’ll embark on a guided sensory journey through medicinal plants and trees, awakening your five senses.
You’ll learn to listen to silence, breathe deeply, and walk without a goal, focused solely on the present moment—allowing nature to hold you, renew you and inspire you.
This is not a simple walk through nature—it is a conscious, slow, and transformational experience, led by an expert guide who will facilitate breathing exercises, guided visualizations, active listening, nature observation, and deep connection to the surroundings.
