Connecting with nature
We live in a world where everything goes way too fast, and to immerse oneself in the » forest atmosphere» means taking a quiet walk, listening to the birds, feeling the wind, touching the water, smelling the tree trunks, or as the Japanese say, enjoying the komorebi, which means «sunlight filtering through the leaves of the trees’.
Awakening the senses
This is not about long walks or extreme physical exercise. It is something much more relaxed: a short and quiet walk along a track that will help you to disconnect and reduce stress. It is all about awakening your senses and harmonising with nature.
Before the session you can take a test to measure your level of stress, anxiety, exhaustion etc. After finishing the session you will be able to see the difference. Many of our guests who have visitied the «Forest of the fairies» tell us that there is a before and an after.
