FOREST BATHING

FOREST BATHING
10:00 am pre-registration required; 30 minute walk

Forest Bathing is a process of relaxation.  The simple method of being calm and quiet amongst the trees, observing the nature around you whilst breathing deeply can help both adults and children de-stress and boost health and wellbeing in a natural way.

Note that children must be accompanied by an adult.
