Immerse yourself in nature's embrace with Liverpool's forest bathing experience for two people.
“And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul,” a quote that inspires Claire, a certified forest bathing guide. Calm, knowledgeable, and encouraging, she embodies everything you need when learning this ‘Shinrin-yoku’ experience.
WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?
When you go for a walk in the woods, it can be difficult to fully focus on the natural world around you as we tend to still be in ‘doing’ or ‘thinking’ mode - work, the children, dinner - all the while still rushing.
Forest bathing is a well-being and health promotion practice. This guided walk will help you to really slow down and open your senses to gain the many benefits of this practice, such as reducing feelings of stress and improved sleep.
The walk will cover a gentle mile and will take up to two and a half hours. During the walk, you will be offered ways to open up your senses and connect with the woodland around you.
You won’t be asked to hug a tree - but you can if you want to.

Forest bathing can lower stress, restore mental energy, and boost the immune system.
