SWAMP LOTUS
Offering Certified Forest Guiding and Forest Bathing Experiences
What is Forest Bathing?
Forest Bathing (Shinrin Yoku) is the Japanese practice of reconnecting and remembering our relationship with nature through sensory-focused experiences. It is a practice that promotes numerous physical and mental health benefits, allowing participants to de-stress, unplug, and step away from the anxieties of daily life. It encourages something we often forget to do - self-care.
Certified forest guides offer these experiences, providing an opportunity for people to leave behind their everyday life for a while and focus on their inner life and their personal relationship with nature.
I recently had a fantastic experience with Swamp Lotus. I wasn't sure what to expect but our guide led us through mindful activities, encouraging us to engage in our senses and connect with nature. It was such a unique way for me to turn off my busy brain and just be still reminding myself how important it is to slow down, be quiet and connect with nature. I left the walk feeling refreshed, centered and happy to have experienced this. Consider the forest therapy guide an exercise class for your soul.
