Forest Bathing (Skogsbad) with Laurence Nachin
The forest is a living organism, providing an open space to connect with the world around you. Open up your senses and step out of the rush — into the green, nourishing world of the forest.
Forest Bathing (Skogsbad in Swedish) is a practice of immersing yourself in the atmosphere of nature. Through a series of gentle invitations, you let the forest do what it does best: bring you back to the present moment.
Laurence brings a unique perspective to this experience. As a certified nature and forest therapy guide AND a biologist, she opens up a world of microorganisms and molecules that are quietly, constantly working for our wellbeing — and invites you to feel that, not just understand it.

WHAT TO EXPECT
We'll meet at the starting point, walk a short distance together, and then Laurence will introduce the practice — what it is, why it works, and what your time together will look like.
From there, the experience unfolds through a series of open invitations. You're never told how to do something — you're simply invited to explore with your senses: what do you see, hear, smell, feel?
Establish a connection with the world around you. Let yourself be embraced by nature and notice your senses engage differently.
Throughout the experience, individual wandering weaves together with shared moments of reflection in circle.
You close with a tea ceremony — a moment to gather, share what arose, and let the experience land. This is also an opportunity to eat a sandwich or snack you can bring for yourself as we are aware that the experience is ending close to dinner time.
Duration: approximately 2 hours, from 5.30 pm - 7.30 pm
WHY FOREST BATHING?
The benefits are well-documented:
Cortisol (stress hormone) levels drop measurably
Trees release phytoncides — airborne molecules that boost our immune system
Soil bacteria have been linked to improved mood
Time in nature increases our capacity for social connection
It's biology.
