Nature Immersion Walks, also known as "Forest Bathing" or "Guided Forest Therapy" are cultivated from the Japanese practice called Shinrin-yoku.
Shinrin-yoku simply means to take in the forest atmosphere. The practice grew popular in the 1980s in Japan amongst individuals experiencing chronic stress and illness due to working long hours indoors. Thanks to scientific research it has been discovered that this practice also benefits our health and wellbeing.
