• Sophie Nature Walk - Forest bathing, or Shinrin-yoku as it is known in Japan, originated in the 1980s as a remedy for the stresses of contemporary life. This practice, which means “to immerse oneself in the forest atmosphere,” has become a fundamental aspect of holistic wellness, providing a natural method to alleviate stress and restore equilibrium. Unlike hiking, forest bathing is not focused on distance or speed. It is a slow, deliberate journey through nature, where participants are encouraged to calm their minds, heighten their senses, and reconnect with themselves through the forest’s healing energy.
