Forest with You Welcome to Forest With You, a space where heartful becomings are rooted in Nature. Some of you may know my work from Xiu Nature Connections/forestbathingsg.

This new chapter continues that journey and also creates space for new becomings. Previously known as 休 Xiu Nature Connections, or forestbathingsg. Since 2017, I have been pioneering forest therapy / forest bathing and nature-inspired rest experiences in Singapore. What began a s quiet walks for a few like-minded individuals in Singapore soon grew into something larger. My path unfolded and brought me on a journey of guiding thousands on forest therapy experiences (even across borders), training aspiring guides-to-be internationally and collaborating with communities, organisations and brands seeking a deeper and more meaningful way of becoming and connecting.

7 years' later, I have been feeling a call for a new chapter. This evolution called for a name that could hold both our roots and our new becomings. Forest with You carries the spirit and essence of 休 (xiū) - a natural partnership between Person and the Woods, grounded in ease. In the new emblem, this partnership is embraced within a simple doorway that opens to unfolding journeys and becomings, for all. Its lines echo the bark of trees, etched in its own time and natural rhythms, whispering of inner transformations and growth. This is my invitation to you - let's enter the doorway together into heartful becomings - informed by our own seasons and cycles, by Science, and by the unique glimmers that our everyday lives and Forests offers us. Welcome. With Love, Youmin

Final part 4 of our ANFT Forest Therapy Guide Training that took place in China in Aug 🌼

Words from a trainnee sums it all, "This training is not just about healing through relational forest therapy — the training process itself also brought me a deeper kind of healing."

Yes we train you to lead others on forest therapy walks independently ... and so much more unfolds ...

Deepest gratitude from my heart as we wrap up the trainings in China in 2026 🧡

最终的第4部分 🌳 我们8月在中国办的ANFT森林疗愈向导培训

一位学员的话总结了一切：“这个培训不仅是从关系式森林浴在疗愈，这个培训过程本身也让人有更深的疗愈。”

没错，我们训练你独立带别人走森林疗愈，但远远不止这些 ✨

2026年中国的培训进展到这一点，我心里满满的感恩 🙏🧡

「山路弯弯引我向
云海处最深
茶烟袅袅的晨昏
山风吹来了纯真」

✨ 2027/2028 的培训出炉啦！

In a guided relational forest therapy session, all ways are possible. No, this does not mean you do it in a careless way or in a can't be bothered attitude. It means you live in a moment where you can truly be yourself, be in your own skin and be open to what captures your curiosity.

We were humbled to work with the Vacheron Constantin Singapore team to host them on their Vacheron Constantin Experience. Discovering and exploring all the different (and personal) ways to be with nature and oneself, to give a gift to another, and to receive from others.

A return: Connection • Belonging • Curiosity

Not forgetting, a different way of being in our urban city: s l o w

It is not always green in forest therapy.
Sometimes, BLUE 💙 is the way to go for some.
The oceans and seas provide a different connection, different stories, different unfoldings, and different relationships. 🏖️

Delighted to be returning to paradise soon.

森林疗愈不一定都是「绿」的。
有时候，「蓝 」💙 才是某些人的方式。
海洋和大海带来的联结不一样，故事不一样，展开的方式不一样，关系也不一样。🏖️

Part 3 of what unfolded and what went on in our recent ANFT Forest Therapy Guide Training at Taining, China 🧡 It is never about which approach or who is better. But what are YOU drawn to? What makes your heart sings? What makes your spirit alive?

To many of us relational forest therapy guides, we are drawn to heart and senses over mind, partnership & kinship over ownership, simplicity over complexity, suggestions over instructions, and a whole lots more.

My own sense is that there is room and need for all approaches 🌼

Part 3 一起看看我们最近在中国泰宁办的ANFT关系式森林疗愈向导第4期的培训 🧡
从来都不是在比哪个方式比较好，或者谁比较厉害。重点是: 你自己被什么吸引？什么最触动你的心？什么会让你的灵魂活起来？

对我们很多关系式森林疗愈向导来说，我们更被心和感官吸引，多过头脑；更看重伙伴关系和亲近感，多过拥有性；更喜欢简单，多过复杂；更倾向给建议，而不是下指令，还有很多很多 ...

我自己的感觉是，每一种方式都有它的空间，也都有它的需要 🌼

Part 2 🧡 Every story, a perspective to attend the world with... A peek into what unfolded and what went on in our recent ANFT Forest Therapy Guide Training at Taining, China.

It could be a quiet solo way of relating.
It could be a joyous playful way of relating.
It could be an emotional tearful way of relating.

They are all valid.

We learn why and how to welcome all of you, all of others.

Part 2 🧡 每一个故事，都是一种看世界的方式……给大家看一下我们最近在中国泰宁办的ANFT森林疗愈向导第4期的培训，到底发生了什么事、经历了些什么 ...

可以是一种安静的、独自一人的相处方式。
可以是一种开心、玩耍性的相处方式。
也可以是一种感动到流泪的相处方式。

都没问题，全都被允许。

我们学习为什么，以及怎么去接纳全部的你，也接纳其他人和大于人类的全部。

Part 1 🧡 A sneak peak into what unfolded and what went on in our recent ANFT Forest Therapy Guide Training at Sanming, China.

"A remarkable journey into the heart of the forest; an encounter with the heart of humanity."

Relational and heart encounters cannot be rushed. And no, we are not training [nature guides] as what most people are accustomed to 😅

✨ Upcoming English-language cohort - 𝗔𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝗲𝗮 𝗗𝗼𝗹𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗻𝘀 (𝗖𝗼𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝟭𝟳𝟳) 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝟭𝟲 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 🇹🇭🌳

My 2027 training schedules are out too! If you're interested to know more about ANFT forest therapy trainings, please reach out. Trainings are now available in English and Mandarin.

Part 1 🧡 给大家看一下我们最近在中国泰宁办的ANFT森林疗愈向导第4期的培训，到底发生了什么事、经历了些什么 ...

「一场深入森林之心的非凡旅程；一次与人类之心的深刻相遇」

关系式疗愈和心与心的交流，是急不来的。而且，我们不是在培训大家一般印象中的那种【动植物辨别向导】😅

✨ 下一场英文班——Andaman Sea Dolphins（第177班），2026年11月16日在泰国开课 🇹🇭🌳

我2027年的培训时间表也出来了！如果你对ANFT森林疗愈培训有兴趣，欢迎来找我了解。现在有英文和中文培训。
