People are invited to spend time in nature and form a close connection with it through the practice of "forest bathing." This style of mindfulness training, also known as Shinrin-yoku, has its origins in Japan and advocates for slowing down, awakening the senses, and practicing mindfulness exercises while in a natural setting with trees and other plants. By engaging with the forest in a contemplative and intentional manner, forest bathers can experience a variety of physical, mental, and emotional benefits.

Participants are encouraged to use all of their senses and completely take in the sights, sounds, smells, and textures of the surrounding environment during a forest bathing session. Going outside increases well-being because it lowers stress and increases happiness. People can benefit from nature's healing powers and foster tranquility, connection, and rebirth by consciously taking a forest bath. It involves more than just moving around or exploring. Participants can get a profound sense of their place in the environment and a clearer understanding of how interconnected all living things are by actively interacting with the forest.
