Forest Bathing with Live Guidance on Zoom

The shared circle brings different landscapes into conversation while leaving each participant free to respond to the nature around them.

Let a familiar patch of nature become the focus of your attention. This remotely guided forest-bathing session connects people in different landscapes through Zoom. Forest bathing, or shinrin-yoku, is a mindfulness practice of noticing the natural world through your senses, rather than a hike or a swim.

The guide offers invitations to explore your surroundings, with room to follow whatever draws your attention. Return to the Zoom circle between explorations for optional sharing. The session closes with a tea gathering: bring your own favourite drink and a snack. Walking is usually less than a mile, and you can participate without moving around.

Complete the organiser's release form linked on the booking page before taking part. Choose a suitable outdoor place if weather and your circumstances allow; notice local hazards and tell someone where you are going and when you will return. Bring an internet-connected device, water, suitable shoes and weather protection, plus any prescribed emergency medication. A timer is useful if you step away from a laptop at home. Refund requests are accepted up to two days before the event.
