I offer private and group sessions of Shinrin Yoku (Forest Bathing) as a
certified Guide. We’ll merge with the beauty of nature in the South Queensferry
area embracing Japanese rituals of the Yamabushi Shamans and practicing Forest
Bathing.
If you have ever been among trees in a woodland, listening to the birds,
walking, or simply searching for some silence, you have already experienced the
Japanese practice of shrin-yoku or forest bathing. In Japanese, “shinrin” means
forest and “yoku” means bath, or immersing oneself in the forest and soaking in
the atmosphere through the senses.
Breathing deeply and finding peace in nature has a massive positive role on your
body and mind. Plants release substances from their leaves that are effective in
positively stimulating the immune system, as many studies have proved.
Forgetting your mobiles and usual busy schedule, in the magic atmosphere of
nature , you will take this time off for yourself only to re-build and re-create
the cycle that naturally links human beings with nature as a part of the whole.
It will be your slowing down time to re-connect literally with your roots.
Some time of digital detoxing will help you to pay attention to your breath, to
use all of your senses, to meditate while walking, to dance freely, to stay
silent. When did you last touch a tree trunk, or notice the symphony of animals
and leaves dancing around you?
We will create our sacred space in this time of reconnection with a shamanic
ceremony . In this ceremony, you will receive guidance, healing and inspiration,
you will learn how to create an altar, smudging with burning sacred herbs,
calling the seven directions and then receiving your talking stick to share your
heart with your close beautiful circle of souls for this circle.
A ceremony is spontaneous, a ceremony is unique, a ceremony is a direct
connection with the spirits of the land.
Think about what you need to re-create in your life. Think about what you want
to re-connect with along your path.
Ask for guidance and the fairies will answer, they always do.
Sessions normally last at least 120min plus the walking time to enter the
woodland and find a suitable spot according to the season changes in the green
(allow extra 30/45min walk and return ) and the current price is for 1-1.
Private groups will receive a bespoke quote. If you wish to have a longer
session a bespoke price will be provided.
