Forest Therapy brings slow and mindful grounding and connection to nature through our senses, bringing respite from a busy world.
Zen Meditation is a very simple and direct method of mindfulness that has been scientifically proven to reduce stress and increase resilience. No experience is required and you don’t have to sit on the floor or attempt to have a mind empty of thoughts – that’s not the point!
Shibashi Qigong is an ancient Chinese wellness practice, focusing on simple slow flowing movements. It’s meditation in motion and accessible to most people. It helps oil the joints and move energy around the body.
