Forest Therapy is a therapeutic practice that teaches how to be present and connected to nature. It is derived from the Japanese practice "Shinrin Yoku, which translates to "forest bathing" or "taking in the forest atmosphere."
Forest therapy can increase mindfulness skills, which allow individuals to connect with the present and live in the moment without judgment or evaluation. It teaches us how to bring ourselves into the present moment without worry or stress.
It encourages individuals to notice and sense the things around them, allowing them to feel a part of nature rather than separate from it. We are part of the same ecosystem, we are from the same cells; forest therapy can deepen our relationships with ourselves, with each other, and with mother nature. This sensory-oriented practice supports human, as well as nature well-being and health.
