Nestled in the heart of the ancient Surrey Hills, our forest bathing location at Harry Edwards Healing Sanctuary is an oasis of calm.   Close to London yet world’s apart, it’s a wonderful location to immerse yourself in our in-person Forest Bathing+ training.  Founded in 1946 by the world renowned healer Harry Edwards, since then the Sanctuary has been dedicated to promoting health and wellbeing.  We spend our time split between Harry Edwards and Newlands Corner, home to some mighty oaks and ancient yew trees, as well as stunning views.
