I loved the graceful flow of the experience and tuning into nature with all senses. The connection between our human nature and green nature was also helpful and humbling!

As the walk progressed I found myself slowing right down and totally immersed in each activity. I felt calmer, lighter and more centred.
Penny - Sydney
Mayu gently guiding each of us into the experience of forest bathing... and a sense of privilege that she was sharing a passion. Further, being Japanese she was able to provide rich understanding of the cultural context for history of forest bathing and its benefits for us now.
