Sentir Natural

Forest Therapy, also known as Forest Bathing, is a slow and relaxed stroll of about 3 hours and a distance no longer than 1 km, through a natural environment. During the walk, the guide will help you awaken your senses and slow down to be present, away from your worries and connected to nature.

Origen

Forest therapy is inspired in Shinrin Yoku (which literally means forest bathing), that began in the early 80’s in Japan, in response to high stress levels in the country’s population that lead to a spike in cancer and autoimmune diseases. The government of Japan wanted to create a way to get people out into nature again, to have spaces for leisure and relaxation, because through a series of studies they found how beneficial it is to be in touch with nature. There are over 60 certified trails in Japan and a big part of the population practices forest bathing on a regular basis. We have been living in natural surroundings for 99,9% of our evolutionary time and it has not been until the last few decades that more and more people are moving to big cities. Speed and urgency, being connected to screens all day long, climate change, conflicto threats and so many more, lead to constant stress. We need to spend more time in nature to have some balance to this stress.
