Sit Spot and Nature Connection Practice
To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the
water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an
evening saunter … to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be
elated over a bird’s nest or a wildflower in spring
- these are some of the rewards of the simple life.
- John Burroughs
Suggested Invitation for Day 13
Gratitude for Nature Two
Today, once you have made yourself comfortable in your Sit Spot and sat for a few minutes, look around you and take notice of the ‘Good Things in Nature’ that you can see and that occur to you whilst you are in your Sit Spot. Continue this for as long as you wish and then just sit and ‘be’. Give yourself the gift of time and allow yourself permission to be fully present, in your Sit Spot.
A beautiful journal for deepening your relationship with nature.
Designed by Forest Healing, this A5 journal provides 28 opportunities to reflect on your nature connection experiences through writing, drawing, and guided reflection. Record what you notice in nature, what you notice in yourself, and the insights that emerge along the way. With inspiring quotations, high-quality uncoated pages, and a luxurious velvet-laminated cover, it is the perfect companion for Forest Bathing, Sit Spots, mindful walks, and everyday moments of connection with the natural world.
P&P is FREE within the UK.

The more time we spend paying attention to the natural world, the more we begin to notice. A familiar tree that changes through the seasons. The return of birdsong after Winter. The scent of rain on the earth. The subtle shifts in our own thoughts, feelings, and wellbeing when we slow down and take time to connect.
This Nature Connection Journal has been created as a companion for your nature connection journey, helping you to capture experiences, deepen your reflections, and develop a richer relationship with the natural world around you.
Each spread combines a page for writing, sketching, or creative expression with a structured reflection page that invites you to consider what you noticed in nature, what you noticed in yourself, and what you learned from the experience. The journal also includes inspiring quotations that encourage curiosity, mindfulness, and deeper engagement with the living world.
Whether you use it after a Forest Bathing session, a mindful walk, time spent at your sit spot, or simply a few minutes in a local park or garden, the journal helps transform fleeting moments of connection into lasting memories and meaningful insights.
Over time, your journal becomes more than a record of places visited and things observed. It becomes a record of your own journey; a reflection of how your relationship with nature evolves and how nature, in turn, influences your wellbeing, perspective, and sense of belonging.
With high-quality uncoated pages suitable for writing and drawing, and a beautifully soft velvet-laminated cover that feels as inviting as the experiences it contains, this is a journal designed to accompany you into woods, parks, gardens, and wild places for years to come.
Begin where you are. Notice what is around you. Record what matters. Allow nature to tell its story alongside your own.
A Small Book of Sit Spot Invitations – A Gentle Guide to Deepening Your Connection with One Place in Nature
A quiet practice of returning — again and again — to the same place in nature.
This small 24-page booklet contains 10 Sit Spot Invitations designed to help you build a deeper, more sustained relationship with the natural world by simply sitting and observing. Rather than moving through landscapes, Sit Spot invites you to stay with one place, allowing it to slowly reveal itself over time.
A Sit Spot is a chosen place in nature where you return regularly to sit in stillness, notice your surroundings, and observe the subtle changes that unfold through time, weather, light, and season. It is a simple but powerful practice that encourages presence, patience, and deep attention.
Rooted in nature connection practices and widely used within Forest Bathing (Shinrin-yoku) and nature-based wellbeing approaches, Sit Spot helps shift your experience from visiting nature to forming a relationship with it.
Inside this booklet you will find:
• 10 Sit Spot Invitations to guide your practice
• An introduction to what Sit Spot is and how it works
• Guidance on choosing and returning to your Sit Spot location
• Simple practices for deepening sensory awareness and observation
• Ways to build a regular, restorative nature connection habit
Each invitation is designed to gently focus your attention — whether on sound, movement, light, stillness, or the changing presence of wildlife. Over time, these repeated moments of quiet attention can deepen your sense of belonging within the living world around you.
Sit Spot is not about doing more. It is about noticing more. It is about allowing the natural world to become familiar, intimate, and ever-changing — even when you are sitting in the same place.
This booklet is a small companion for anyone seeking calm, grounding, and a more meaningful relationship with nature through stillness and repetition.
A simple practice. A single place. A deeper way of seeing.
P&P is FREE within the UK.

I ordered these in the wrong weight and they are printed on 115 gsm silk paper with 170 gsm covers rather than the 150 gsm / 250 gsm I usually order, so I am selling them off at half price in bundles of 10.

A small collection designed to gently open the door into deeper relationship with the natural world.
This complete set of four Forest Healing booklets brings together practical guidance, reflective ideas, and simple nature connection practices that can be used anywhere — from ancient woodland to a nearby park, garden, or even a single Sit Spot outdoors.
Written to be accessible, grounding, and easy to follow, these booklets offer a pathway into the core practices of Forest Bathing (Shinrin-yoku), Silvotherapy, and everyday nature connection. Rather than asking you to achieve anything, they simply invite you to slow down, notice more deeply, and allow nature to become an active presence in your wellbeing.
Across the four booklets you will explore:
• What Forest Bathing, Silvotherapy, and Nature Connection actually are
• The key benefits of spending mindful time in natural environments
• The practice of the “Sit Spot” and how to develop your own relationship with a chosen place
• Simple, practical Forest Bathing invitations you can try alone or with others
• Ways to bring nature connection into everyday life, even in small moments
Together, they form a gentle introduction to practices that have been shown to support reduced stress, improved mood, greater clarity of thought, and a deeper sense of belonging within the natural world.
These are not academic texts or rigid instruction manuals. They are invitations — encouraging you to step outside, slow your pace, and rediscover the quiet intelligence of trees, weather, and landscape.
Whether you are completely new to nature connection or looking to deepen an existing practice, this collection offers a simple, supportive starting point for building a more intentional and restorative relationship with the living world around you.
A small set of booklets that can change the way you experience even the most familiar patch of nature.
