What is
Forest Bathing?
Forest Bathing is the
Japanese art of "Shinrin Yoku",
translated as: 'taking in the forest air with all the senses'.
Backed by rigorous scientific studies beginning in 1984, forest bathing is a gentle, immersive, intentional, and meditative walk through the forest that has been found to reduce stress, boost immune function, as well as increase focus and productivity.
Why do we need
Forest Bathing?
Because Humanity needs Nature.
Let's face it, we're stressed. Whether it is jobs, clients, kids, family, global pandemics... We weren't built for this. We didn't evolve in cities - we evolved out there, in the forests and prairies, for hundreds of thousands of years. Our brains and bodies are made to connect to nature, in fact, they crave it - this is called biophilia. Deep down we know nature is good for us, it's intuitive. But for whatever reason, we tend to ignore our intuitions.
Our purpose at Motz Studios Forest Bathing Experiences is to re-introduce you to what your intuition already knows:
what mysteries lie in the transformative power of the forest. We invite you to join one of our forest bathing walks and find healing and joy, quiet your mind, soften your stresses, and to do this in partnership with the forest.
