Nature & Forest Therapy
“Forest bathing opens the doors of our senses and fully engages us with the healing powers of nature. The methods of forest bathing bring our bodies and minds into a relaxed and quiet state, where we are fully aware of where we are and what we are experiencing in the present moment. A simple motto— ‘The forest is the healer, the practice opens the doors’ — is a reliable guide.”
-M. Amos Clifford, Your Guide to Forest Bathing
