This Nature Connection and Forest Bathing Walk is being offered as part of the Dunollie Museum, Castle and Grounds’ ‘Wellness Weekend’.

Forest Bathing involves walking slowly and leisurely through the woodland, immersing yourself in the natural environment and mindfully using all your senses. People often find it physically, psychologically and emotionally beneficial to spend time bathing in the atmosphere of the trees.

Some of the benefits you can experience from Forest Bathing include:

• Reduced stress levels

• Improved sleep quality

• Increased immune function

• Improved mood and self-esteem

• Reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression

• Increased energy levels and focus

• Lowered blood pressure

This guided Forest Bathing walk will last between two and three hours, but in this time we only walk about a mile. During the walk, Hugh (your Forest Bathing Guide) will periodically stop to offer Forest Bathing ‘Invitations’. These are activities intended to encourage you to connect with the natural world through your different senses, heightening your sensory awareness and increasing your nature connection.

We end each walk with the Forest Bathing practice ‘Sit Spot’ and a Tea Ceremony with a cup of locally foraged tea. Each participant will receive a complimentary booklet of Forest Bathing Activities to take away with them.

Tickets are £9 for Adults and are available from Dunollie’s Website by clicking on the button below.
