Nature speaks the language of our nervous system
Have you ever stepped into a forest and felt a wave of calm wash over you? That feeling isn’t just in your mind. It’s rooted in your body, too. Science tells us that nature has the power to lower stress, ease anxiety, and awaken our senses.
What is Forest Bathing
Forest Bathing, or Shinrin-yoku, originated in Japan in the 1980s as a response to rising urban stress. It's not hiking. It's not therapy. It's a guided, immersive practice of slowing down and experiencing nature through all your senses.
Why it works
Nature speaks the language of our nervous system. The fractal patterns in leaves lower mental fatigue. The scent of the forest supports immune health. Slowing to nature's rhythm activates your body's rest-and-restore state.
When teams experience this together, something shifts. Not through forced connection, but through shared presence.
What changes
Your team is moving fast but not thinking clearly. Meetings feel reactive. Decisions feel rushed. Creativity is forced, not flowing.
Forest Bathing shifts this. Through nervous system regulation, not through another workshop. When teams slow down in nature, attention returns. Decisions come from clarity. Teams reconnect through being present together in a way work rarely allows.
Core Benefits:
Reduce stress hormone levels (cortisol)
Improve sleep, attention, and concentration
Enhance creativity and focus
Lower blood pressure and heart rate

Bring your team into the forest
Forest Bathing sessions are offered in forests, ancient woodlands, and urban parks. Whether you're seeking personal renewal or a team reset, this practice offers a pathway from reactivity to presence.
Sessions are minimum 3 hours. For teams up to 15 people.
Many teams begin here and deepen into year-long transformation through our Nature's Intelligence Transformation Journey.
