Forest therapy (shinrin-yoku) is a gentle, science-based practice that unfolds in the living presence of the forest. Guided through simple invitations, we slow down and allow our senses to open — to the scent of pine, the texture of bark, the rhythm of wind moving through leaves. In this space, perception deepens and the nervous system begins to soften.
Research shows that spending a few intentional hours in the forest can significantly reduce cortisol levels, ease stress, and lift mood. Attention and concentration improve, creativity awakens, and a natural sense of connection — both within ourselves and with others — grows stronger. The forest reminds us how to be present.
During this 2-hour session, you will be guided through mindful invitations designed to calm the mind, attune to your surroundings, and gently restore your inner balance. There is no rush, no performance — only a slow return to simplicity and awareness.
The session will be held in nature and guided by licensed forest therapist, meditation practitioner, and devoted nature lover Alma Matusevičienė.
