Forest Bathing
Intention
I grew up with a father who taught me all there was to teach about nature. The trees, little insects, all the different calls of all the different birds. I used to wander through the forests in The Netherlands and connect with its energy intuitively and through season based living.
Finding Shinrin-yoku, the Japanese philosophy and importance of being in nature, how it affects us emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually; I combined this into my own Forest Bathing experience here in Norway.

Why Forest Wandering?
In times where the world seems to turn faster and our lives are much spend on our phones, behind desks and disconnected from our surroundings, we'll offer a wonderful opportunity to connect to our natural environment once more!
Forest Wandering is rooted in the wonderful Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku and a good way to combat anxiety, depression, uneasiness and generally de-stress from daily life.
I combine the philosophy of Shinrin-yoku with my own experiences. This means that all Forest Wandering sessions include elements from my years of living with seasons, my spiritual and own personal background in Norse Animistic Paganism, my Shinto practicing and general love and deep urge to leave this world a better place.
If these words stir something in you, it might be time to dive into this practice with me.
