ABOUT

Are you looking to escape the noise of city life? Would you like to learn how to reduce stress and anxiety? Would you like to simply spend time in a peaceful and serene environment with a small group of like minded people?


Our Mindful Forest Walk experience is the perfect opportunity to recharge and rejuvenate.



It's more than just a simple walk in the forest. We follow the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku, aka Forest Bathing, (no actual bathing required:) 



Your experienced Natural Mindfulness Guide will take you on a journey of discovery in the forest, where you will immerse yourself in the peaceful and rejuvenating surroundings of Nature. Learn mindfulness and intentional techniques to deepen your connection with Nature and unlock its full potential for a healthier mind and body.



Studies have shown that spending time in nature can:



  • reduce stress
  • improve mood
  • improve focus and clarity
  • boost your overall well-being


Sessions last around 3hrs. Covering a leisurely 3 km, this journey is designed for guests of all fitness levels.

Along the way, we'll pause for a restorative tea ceremony and a snack bar, giving you time to reflect on the beauty and benefits of the experience.


You'll receive a comprehensive pre-event email, complete with easy-to-follow directions to our meeting point and all the information you need to fully prepare for your Mindful Forest Walk experience.


So what are you waiting for? Book your Mindful Forest Walk today and take the first step towards a happier, healthier you.

Perfectly placed guided meditations together with the naturally peaceful atmosphere of the forest left me feeling relaxed, refreshed, and revived. Thank you, Michael and Jo, for a wonderful few hours, the effects of which I am still feeling days after the event.

What an incredible experience! If you are looking for some time away from the noise, a space where you can connect with self and with nature then forest bathing with Awaken to Nature offers just that. A truly magical way to start the day!

At first, I was apprehensive about a walk in the forest needing a guide, but this forest bathing session really surprised me. It was so lovely being properly guided on how to use our senses to get back in touch with our natural surroundings. I left the forest feeling calmer and clearer on some aspects I've been having trouble with. Go with an open mind and surrender to your surroundings. Highly recommended!
