A Mini Forest Bathing Session – Flexible Location Around Helsinki
All year
Mannerheiminaukio, 00100 Helsinki
40€ / person
New to forest bathing or short of time? Try it out in a shorter taster session and lower immediately your stress hormone level, heart rate and blood pressure within 30 minutes! This Forest Bathing session can be arranged anywhere in the Metropolitan area, from the Central Park forest to the nature reserves, islands or near hotels.
The session allows you to immerse yourself in the sounds, scents, colours and shapes of the forest and reconnect with nature (and yourself).
You walk slowly or alternatively stay in one place, and try some guided nature connection and sensory awareness activities, lead by a certified local Forest Therapy and Wilderness Guide. You’ll also receive aromatic oil on your skin so you can continue to enjoy the therapeutic effects of the forest for the rest of the day.
The healing effects of nature on the body and mind have been recognized for thousands of years across different cultures. Forest bathing, or “shinrin-yoku”, was developed in the 1980s in Japan as a treatment for the stress and exhaustion of urban populations. This mindfulness-based method has since spread worldwide and evolved into a well-researched wellness practice that enhances the documented health benefits of nature, effectively reduces stress, strengthens the immune system, and recharges you with new vitality.
The experience can also be made accessible with wheelchair if so wished.
Transfer is available upon request.
