Public talk: What is forest bathing?

Do you have a daily routine of getting outside and recharging your 'batteries'?

The therapeutic benefits of time spent in nature are often talked about.  For some however, it can be tricky to know where to start  - or how to embed techniques that enhance wellbeing and connection to the more-than-human world.

Forest Bathing is one nature therapy approach, informed by the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, which has positive physiological and psychological effects.

Guest speaker Jay Ridgewell will discuss Forest Bathing techniques, as facilitated through her Held Outside consultancy, and learnt through her training as a certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide. Jay's background as a science communicator and interest in deep ecology also inform her commitment to sharing practices which  connect people to nature.

This presentation will include a taster experience of Forest Bathing and will be followed by the Friends of Mary Cairncross general meeting. All welcome to attend.

Morning tea provided from 9.30am. Jay's talk will commence at 10am.
