MODULE TWO : Forest Bathing+
The FB+ module consists of 2 elements. We use a combination of online theory teaching (four days) and in-person forest immersion training (four days).
The theory element has to be taken before the in-person element and we ask trainees to take theory and in-person elements as close together as possible. To attend this course, you should have already attended Module One – Meditation and Mindfulness, a 3-day online course, see above.
Practical course – restorative and relaxing
Our practical training course is part relaxation and part training course. The philosophy behind the 4 days we spend together is the more relaxed we feel, the more deeply we may feel able to connect with nature. When we spend 4 days together, ideally away from the stressors of everyday life, we may find we are able to relax more each day. As the 4-days together unfold, we hope you will find, as many do, that you experience greater feelings of serenity, which help to facilitate greater feelings of being connected to nature. Many people report epiphanies or major breakthroughs during our time together; it can be an emotional experience to feel a greater connection with nature, and course tutors can assist if needed.
We very much look forward to welcoming you on the course and sharing a wonderful and memorable journey with you.
We currently have four locations for the in-person training: Canada, Toronto, the UK, England, Wales, and Scotland.
