Experience the serenity & deep healing of the forest
I go to Nature to be soothed and healed, and have my senses put in order. – John Burroughs
A Tranquil Forest Journey is the antidote to our nature-starved lives, the disconnection and the ill-being we are experiencing as a result. While we are hyperconnected to the digital world, we are so disconnected from our most sincere Self and from Nature.
If you are feeling exhausted, overworked, stressed just looking at your to-do list, in need to disengage from your daily life and want to rest and recharge, this is for you.
Come and soothe your soul and engage your senses during this intimate and feel-good mindful journey in the natural world.
You are invited to the Tranquil Forest Journey where you will be immersing your physical, mental, spiritual and energetic self amongst the stunning rainforest to experience a sense of deep connection to your environment and to yourself.
A Tranquil Forest Journey is the opportunity to receive Nature’s life-giving benefits such as the phytoncides released by the trees that have the tremendous power to enhance our physiological, mental, emotional and energetic wellbeing.
Envision breathing in the relaxing eucalyptus scent, hearing the uplifting kookaburras laugh and taking in the beauty and wonder of the forest to revitalise your whole being.
When you walk in the forest you are taking in its healing power. – Dr Qing Li

What is Forest Bathing?
Forest bathing, or Shinrin yoku, is an immersive experience in the forest to deeply connect with all your senses, your heart, your self.
Throughout the journey, you are invited to explore different mindful practices to encourage you to slow down, pause and go within while communing with Nature and enjoying the great benefits of the outdoors.
Scientific studies over the last few decades have shown the health benefits for our physical, mental and physiological wellbeing.
A forest bathing experience is a treat to yourself to spend a meaningful moment reconnecting with your inner world.
