This forest bathing program in the Sonian Forest is suitable for anyone who would like to smell, touch, hear, savor, see and feel nature deep within.
We will meet at 9 am at the Sonian Forest and finish at 1 pm. In that time, we will carry out a five-step immersion in the forest and a final closing ceremony in which we will share our impressions.
Forest bathing is as much an experience of the self and nature, as it is a meditative practice. Throughout the morning, we will work on ceremonial slow-pacing, and conscious attention, as well as tune into our senses and breath. As we do this, we will regain a sense of balance, bring our levels of anxiety down, enjoy simple details such as the rustle of leaves, and then have a chance to embrace the moment by sharing our impressions with the others in our group.
This Shinrin Yoku (forest bathing) program in Belgium’s gorgeous Sonian Forest is perfect for anyone who wants to destress and reconnect with nature in a deep way. The Sonian Forest is located on the southeast edge of Brussels and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Forest bathing is the perfect way to appreciate it fully, and will also help you reconnect with your senses and yourself. This fantastic activity will take place in 5 steps throughout the morning and doesn’t require any special physical training or equipment, however, it does promise a wide set of benefits that involve truly connecting with nature, and making a ritual ceremony of it. Our day together will be a beautiful time spent with the trees, the birds, the wind, with ourselves, and with each other!
