Celebrating the Summer Solstice – Forest Bathing Fri 23rd June 2023 Surrey
With Justine Clement
A Weekly small group Forest Bathing experience in Surrey
Friday 23rd June 2023 at 2pm-4.45pm, Nower Wood, Surrey
June is true summer, strawberries, roses and rainy picnics. It’s the month of the Solstice, too, which marks the time when day equals night and then, after 3 days of standstill, we begin to see longer days and shorter nights. So come along to this gathering to celebrate the light with good company and great energising seasonal changes. These are gentle introductions to forest bathing including sensory and meditative exercises. We take time to explore our woodland landscape, tuning in to our micro and macro awareness of nature and noticing how it communicates with us. The session is 2.45 hours and will take place at the Surrey Wildlife Trust’s private wildlife reserve Nower Wood. See here for details on the location https://www.surreywildlifetrust.org/nature-reserves/nower-wood-educational-nature-reserve
We’ll meet in the car park 10-15 minutes before to begin promptly at 2pm, finishing at 4.45pm.
Forest bathing is scientifically proven to improve health. Countless Japanese studies have revealed how it boosts immune systems, reduces stress hormones, enhances mental wellness and bolsters brain health. It can provide emotional healing, decrease blood pressure, improve general sleep-wake cycles, improve relationship skills, reduces stress and reduce aggression.
