There are currently no government restrictions in England relating to COVID-19.<\/span> However, as it remains a feature of our lives, we are currently maintaining relevant precautions to manage the risk to ourselves and others.<\/span><\/p><\/div>

We therefore ask that you<\/span> do not attend an event if you are feeling unwell, or have COVID-19 symptoms, unless you have a clear PCR test.<\/span> If you cannot attend due to COVID-19 please speak to your guide about moving your booking to an alternative date.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

We run Forest Bathing+ sessions in all conditions with the exception of high winds, lightning, or other extreme weather (where it would not be possible to keep participants comfortable and\/or safe). There are additional benefits of doing a session in wet weather (all will be revealed by your guide) and often the tree canopy protects participants from inclement weather. If we do need to cancel a session we aim to give you as much advance notice as possible and rebook the session on an alternative day. <\/span><\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Please note: you may get cold even in summer!\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>

Please note: you may get cold even in summer! <\/span>Please wear long trousers and tops with <\/span>sleeves<\/span> and walking shoes or similar with good grip and ankle support ideally waterproof. Your body temperature can significantly reduce as we move slowly in the forest and stop regularly so bring extra layers of clothing and a coat. Please also bring water and sun protection if required, and any food or medications you might need. There will be a guided relaxation so also bring a waterproof<\/span> rug <\/span>(a large bin bag will do) or a small foldable chair if being on the ground will not be suitable for you.<\/span><\/p><\/div>

Our guides reserve the right to refuse participation in the session if you are not wearing appropriate clothing. This is for your own safety.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Forest Bathing+ involves breathing deeply, walking slowly through a wooded area, standing and sitting\/lying.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div>

Potential physical risks of doing Forest Bathing+ are associated with the walking and breathing exercises, and certain natural hazards (e.g. roots, bra<\/span>nches)<\/span>.<\/span><\/p><\/div>

Forest bathing can be an emotional activity: you may find that certain emotions surface during the exercises (for example, relating to your understanding of yourself or your relationship with the environment). This is a normal reaction and happens<\/span> when our bodies relax and release<\/span> tension<\/span>.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
