PLEASE NOTE THIS EVENT IS NOW CANCELLED
Join us at East Beach, Shoeburyness to explore the trees, plants, flowers along the coast as well as embracing the sounds and smells of the sea just as the sun rises and the birds begin to sing.
We are holding this session in the hope of helping those who have been experiencing poor mental health during the pandemic and are looking to improve their wellbeing.
Forest bathing or 'Shinrin-Yoku', is the practice of spending time in nature for better health, happiness and a sense of calm. Although traditionally done in the forest, the mindful sensory exercises and invitations of forest bathing can be applied to anywhere immersed in nature.
Your guide will invite you to participate in various activities and exercises all designed to awaken your natural senses and slow down your mind, to bring your awareness to the here and now. The practice can allow space for relaxation, whilst also giving a sense of perspective and a new way to connect with nature and yourself as part of nature.
We are asking for £10 per person for this session - Your contribution will go towards covering the cost of running the event, allow us to hold more in the future and also help support our charity's vital local mental health services. Thank you.
