A walk in the woods can change your life.
In the 1980s, Japan experienced an explosion in urban living. Citizens were detached from nature, stressed and unhealthy.
People needed a simple, gentle, effective method to relax and recharge. They did so through 'shinrin yoku' - forest bathing.
Multiple scientific studies have found this practice reduces cortisol, calms heart rate and lowers blood pressure. Yet how many of us make the time to walk in the woods, calm our bodies and inspire our soul?
The wisdom of the woods is so close, yet we choose to spend our time indoors, insulated from what nature can teach us.
What we need is a gentle prompt to get out there; a soothing way to bathe in the forest and build connection to ourselves at the same time.
“I just loved it ... the resources are perfect and made me stretch out of my comfort zone.”
