Due to great success the past 2 years, we are hosting another Forest Therapy event for our carers.
Forest Therapy, also referred to as Shinrin-yoku (Japanese for ‘forest bathing’ or ‘immersion in the forest’) is a research-based public health practice of guided immersion in forested surroundings with the aim of promoting mental and physical health whilst relaxing and enjoying nature.
It involves combining nature based mindful, sensory, and creative exercises in an outdoor setting. The benefits include a boost to our immune systems, better sleep, increased vitality, reduction in blood pressure, better stress management and emotional regulation.
We will be providing transport from and back to Peter Mac on the day, and attendees are also welcome to organise their own transport or make their own way there.
We will also be providing light refreshments as a picnic afterwards.
