CoLab Worcs - Forest Therapy

Categories

Community and Home Support, Loneliness, Health and Wellbeing

Description

We offer Forest Therapy, rooted in the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku (forest bathing). This is guided, slow time in nature. Not exercise. Not mindfulness as a productivity hack. Just you, the outside world, and a series of gentle invitations to pay attention. The research is compelling: time in nature lowers cortisol, eases anxiety, and reconnects us to a sense of belonging in the world. But you don't need to know any of that. You just need to be willing to show up. Our sessions are small, unhurried, and led by Leisa — a qualified practitioner dedicated to guiding people back to the more-than-human world. Whether you're dealing with stress, disconnection, or just a persistent feeling that something is missing, this might be it.
