Forest Bathing is connecting with nature through mindfulness exercises. Shinrin Yoku emerged in Japan in the 1980s as a response to mass urbanization, disconnection from the land and the results of unhealthy lifestyles in large, overcrowded cities. Many cultures have recognized the importance of the natural world to human health. Enjoy some time in the natural world and consciously connect with what’s around you.
