Forest therapy (sometimes called forest bathing) is an experience of being fully present with nature. This experience was facilitated and guided by a sequence of simple invitations to notice and interact with nature. Benefits of slowing down in nature include a wide range of physical, emotional, and mental health benefits.

The walk took place on the beautiful grounds of Homefields Care Farm and will end with a tea time, light refreshments, and a campfire.
