Shinrin-yoku

Forest therapy developed in Japan in the 1980’s as an antidote to a burgeoning tech industry, where it is known as Shinrin-yoku (shinrin meaning ‘forest’, yoku meaning ‘bath’). Therefore Shinrin-yoku means literally bathing in a forest.

It felt good to be part of a group who are interested in forest therapy and nature appreciation. I very much enjoyed that we did some things together and also had periods of solo exploration—a nice mix
