Forest Bathing

What is Forest Bathing?

Forest bathing, also called forest therapy, originated in Japan in the 1980s. While studying the ​declining health of the country’s population, researchers discovered the healing benefits of being in ​the forest and a national preventative healthcare program, called shinrin-yoku or “bathing in the ​atmosphere of the forest” was born.

Simply put, forest bathing is a mindful practice of immersing yourself in nature by engaging all your ​senses and connecting with all beings, including yourself.

BEFORE I FORGET, LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF ...

My day job is as a marketing business manager of a very unique wellness center. It was a pretty ​stressful time until I found Forest Therapy. I get to talk with healthy people and not-so-healthy ​people, some on their last days, just trying to finish comfortably. But this is not who I am, this is ​one way I am able to serve others in a field I love. Wellness!

The definition of Wellness I found can be different for everyone, but for me, it's the steps we take ​on the daily to assist our health so we can continue to do what we love, with others.

I think you would agree Our days are filled with messages received from friends, work, or media ​outlets. While it may seem difficult to discern which, if any, of these are divine messages,

Let's learn to listen with our hearts and open our mind to curiosity and receive, the wisdom. This ​is really where Forest Bathing came into play for me. It made such a difference in my life that I ​decided to get Certified and share it with others. It can be life changing!!

I am a pretty simple person

On a forest bathing walk, certified Forest Therapy Guide, ​Jackie Schwark invites you into a series of carefully-crafted ​sensory experiences designed to bring you into the present ​moment, reduce stress, and connect you with nature in a ​deeper way than ever before.

Unlike a hike, there is no destination, and unlike a naturalist ​walk , the knowledge you gain can not be measured by ​intellect.

Forest bathing walks are slow paced, usually 1.5 to 2 hours in ​length, and the distance covered is less than a mile. At the ​conclusion of the walk, you’ll leave feeling relaxed and ​restored.
