Testimonials

What a wonderful way to spend the morning…

“I wasn’t quite sure what to expect and purposely didn’t research before coming on the experience. What a wonderful way to spend the morning. Very relaxing and thought provoking. Would definitely be interested in any future forest bathing events. Thank you Julie!”

A peaceful, restoring, and balancing moment…

I’m an Engineer (nobody’s perfect, actually!!). My academic background is therefore focused upon concepts like efficacy, efficiency, return on investment, social responsibility…
Personal feelings are not welcome in my daily professional life!
Julie Fox conceived, organized, and conducted a two-hour Forest Bathing that I was lucky enough to share with four other lovely participants. Nature was at the center of those two hours, where personal feelings were deeply lived, and then verbalized without restrictions. All the opposite of my daily professional life! A peaceful, restoring, and balancing moment, full of flavors, odors, sounds, lights, shades, colors, textures, motion, and emotion!
Thank you, Julie, thank you, all the other participants, for this rewarding moment!”

Luís Adriano Oliveira

Thank you so much… again and again!

Thank you sooooo much, Julie, for having me in this experience. This is not something I usually do, but the connection with nature was really a pleasure for me. As you could see, I also got emotional! And I even had the chance to share this beautiful moment with some lovely people… lucky me.”

Frequently Asked Questions

No. You can connect with nature from any place where you can be safe, comfortable and undisturbed during the session. By a window, in your garden, a local park… or any natural space will be fine.

No. As long as you have reliable internet access, you can participate using your mobile phone or tablet using the Zoom app. You can take that with you to your chosen space and you won’t need to actively use it during the individual nature connection activities.

I will open the session with everyone together on Zoom and lead us through the introductory activities. Then I will invite you to spend 10-15 minutes connecting with nature in different ways, on your own.

Forest Bathing (aka nature connection for wellbeing) as a wellness practice originated in Japan in the 1980s and is known there as Shinrin-yoku. Since then, countless scientific studies have shown that connecting with nature helps us restore our minds and bodies in surprising ways. Read more in this blog post.

Largely, yes. Depending on where you choose to be for the session, you may or may not have exposure to all of the beneficial properties of trees, plants and fresh air. However, even doing these activites sitting by a window with a houseplant can have similar restorative effects as being in an ancient forest.

Apart from a fully charged device and access to the internet, not really. You do need to dress appropriately for the weather and add extra layers if it’s cold as you won’t be moving around much. You may want a cushion, blanket or yoga mat to sit or lie on the ground.
