Slow down and connect with yourself and with nature in a unique forest bathing experience that will amplify your senses and leave you feeling refreshed and restored. Participate in a wellness workshop that is designed to provide time and space to recharge. The science-based tools that are acquired during your time with us will continue to bring a greater sense of ease and wellbeing to your life, long after you have returned home.
What is forest bathing?
Our accredited nature and forest therapy guide will lead you through a series of invitations to deliberately slow down, and to become present and mindful, while gently walking in a beautiful location on Waiheke Island. We conclude with a tea ceremony to integrate the experience. Read how research shows the benefits of nature walks.
