Forest Bathing| Mindfulness in Nature| Elemental Practices
What is Forest Bathing?
Forest Bathing (Shinrin-yoku) is a Japanese practice of immersing yourself in nature, engaging all your senses to connect deeply with the environment. It’s not just a walk—it’s about slowing down, breathing deeply, and allowing nature’s healing energy to restore you. Forest Bathing has been scientifically proven to reduce stress, lower blood pressure, boost the immune system, and enhance mental clarity.
Mindfulness in Nature & Elemental Practices
Mindfulness in Nature integrates the principles of mindfulness with the natural world. I guide mindful walks, elemental and other practices as we move intentionally through forests or green spaces. My guidance invites you pay attention to the sounds, sights, and sensations around you. This mindful awareness quiets the mind, fostering emotional balance and well-being.
To deepen the experience, I incorporate Elemental Practices that connect you with the core energies of earth, water, fire, and air, offering grounding, clarity, and rejuvenation. These elements help you restore balance and tap into nature’s ancient wisdom.
Additionally, I use sound healing—native-style flutes and shamanic drumming—to enhance the journey. The sounds create a calming, meditative atmosphere, guiding you to a deeper connection with nature and yourself.
I interweave all these practices—Forest Bathing, Mindfulness in Nature, Elemental Practices, and Sound Healing—into my retreats and events, adapting them to the specific needs of the session or group. Whether you’re seeking relaxation, clarity, or emotional healing, these elements work together to provide a transformative experience.
“The retreat was absolutely amazing! I loved the cacao and tea ceremony and also the fact that we had an outside space! My favourite part was definitely the sound bath outside- it felt amazing to connect with nature and each other like that. I would 100% recommend to a friend and hope to come to another soon!”

“After the retreat, I felt rejuvenated, calm, and at peace. My favourite part was the forest bathing—it was a unique experience that helped me ground myself. The cacao ceremony was also a special highlight.I loved the Lotus Flower Ritual, which was new to me and very meaningful. I always take away a sense of self-love and care from these retreats, and this one was no different. The setting in nature truly enhanced the experience and helped me connect on a deeper level.The time spent on each activity was perfect, and I felt the retreat was well-rounded for a half-day experience. I’d absolutely attend again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to reconnect with themselves."
