Forest Bathing in Stockholm nature with certified guide｜Sweden

When was the last time you truly listened to a bird, found comfort under a tree, or felt the soft moss against your skin? Relax and rejuvenate in the green embrace of the forest through the Japanese art of Shinrin-Yoku with Helena, certified forest therapy guide.
We meet at Thielska Galleriet bus stop and and enjoy a slow, mindful walk among old oak trees and coniferous forest where you'll be guided to engage all your senses in connection with nature. We’ll wander off the beaten path, through blueberry bushes, spruce trees, and over massive stones, perhaps pausing to rest against a tree trunk. Through a series of carefully crafted sensory invitations, tailored to the nature, weather, and season, you’ll discover a way to let the forest shift your perception of space and time, fostering a sense of unity with all living things. The walk concludes with a celebratory tea ceremony in the forest with tea brewed from local herbs.

Shinrin-Yoku, which translates to "taking in the atmosphere of the forest," is a Japanese-inspired wellness practice that has been scientifically proven to lower blood pressure, reduce stress, boost the immune system, and enhance overall well-being and creativity.
