Step into Stillness with the towering trees surrounded by an orchestra of birdsong.

Together with a small group we will engage in a Forest therapy walk to nourish ourselves and connect with the natural world.

This is a Forest Therapy experience, not a bush walking experience. We will not cover a large physical distance. This experience is all about slowing down and exploring with all of our senses.

This walk will be guided by Rachel DeSumma an ANFT trained Forest Therapy guide.

During the experience we will invite you to slow down and connect with your surroundings and the other beings that share this space with us.

There are many benefits of time spent in nature, especially in a mindful way. Research on Forest Bathing and Forest therapy has found significant improvements in mood, stimulating the immune system, and lowering blood pressure.

We will gather at 10:15 am for a 10:30 start (if you're running late or lost please text me 0417 720 984 before 10:15am as I will no longer look at my phone after 10:15am)

10:45 Welcome, acknowledgement of country, 'arrive'/ ground in the space with a mindfulness meditation and, introduce ourselves.

10:45 -12:30 Engage in forest immersion activities: using our senses to connect to our surroundings

1:00 Tea ceremony and group share
