    Shinrin-Yoku

Natural Mindfulness, Nature Connection

Experience the calming and energising effects of spending time in a woodland. This two-hour session will enable you to deepen your engagement with nature. We will walk, gently stretch, explore mindfulness practices and breath techniques as well as having fun!
 
Forest Bathing comes from the Japanese Shinrin-Yoku which translate as ‘taking in the forest through our senses’. It is not a passive activity but an active engagement connecting or re-connecting with nature.
 
Katy is a ‘Woodlander’, qualified yoga teacher with 20 years experience, Shinrin-Yoku practitioner and Natural Mindfulness guide. Katy owns and manages a small woodland in the Taw valley with her husband and is director of Courage Copse Creatives CIC.


Please bring with you:
  • Your booking reference number
  • Drink and light snack if required. Tea and coffee will be available in the classroom afterwards.
The workshop will take place outside in the woodland. Please wear clothes and footwear suitable for the weather on the day. We suggest wearing layers - be prepared for ALL weather conditions - and footwear appropriate for walking in the woodland.

All materials and equipment provided. Tea and coffee included.

Tutor: Katy Lee / Copse Creatives
