SUMMARY:Forest Bathing
DESCRIPTION:Somer Valley September \nJoin Maxine for ‘Forest Bathing’ as part of Somer Valley September (SVS)\, a festival of nature and creative health activities and events! \nForest Bathing\, also known as shinrin-yoku meaning “forest bath”\, is a Japanese practice that invites you to slow down and immerse yourself in nature.

It also nurtures a sense of curiosity and playfulness\, allowing feelings of love\, gratitude\, and inner peace to gently rise to the surface. \nDuring the session\, you will be guided through a series of sensory invitations\, including gentle movement\, breathing exercises\, and mindfulness techniques designed to help you reconnect with yourself and the natural world. \nGive yourself the gift of self-care\, step away from the busyness of everyday life and invite relaxation\, balance\, and empowerment into your mind\, body\, and heart – while being held in the quiet wisdom of the trees. \nLOCATION: Silver Street Nature Reserve\nMEETING POINT: Outside the entrance to the Cricket Club in Midsomer Norton \nThis session is funded by the Creativity Works Legacy Fund through Bath Spa Studio and delivered in collaboration with practitioners and organisations who contribute to the wonderful movement of Nature and Creative Health in our local area. \n\n\n\nInstructions: \n\nPlease wear weather appropriate sensible footwear (e.g.\, sturdy boots or wellies). Please also bring plenty of layers and waterproofs as we will be outdoors. \nPlease bring a mat to sit on or a camping chair if you find it difficult getting up and down from the floor. You are welcome to bring a flask of tea or coffee and a snack. Please bring anything that will make you feel comfortable – some people like to bring a hot water bottle.
