Shinrin-Yoku 森林浴 Forest Therapy Australia

Shinrin-Yoku 森林浴 Forest Therapy Australia “To walk in nature is to witness a thousand miracles” – Mary Davis. Just slow down, reconnect, heal, feel well and happy. Our species evolved in forests.

Come experience something unforgettable on our Forest Therapy™ guided walks, mindful meanders and retreats in nature. "Shinrin Yoku" is the Japanese term which literally translates as "taking in the forest atmosphere" or "forest bathing." The practice of immersing in forested areas was popularized in the 1980s in response to the rapid rise in stress and lifestyle-related illnesses. Forest Therapy

is inspired by Shinrin Yoku - now a popular global health and wellbeing public health practice. In My Nature introduced guided Nature and Forest Therapy™ walks to Australasia, as a way to strengthen our relationship to nature, promote environmental stewardship and as a life-practice to maintain health and wellbeing. Forest Therapy is an evidence based practice which offers significant psychological and physical benefits. As we reconnect with nature through this practice, we also build a reciprocal relationship with the web of life. Research shows that Forest Therapy boosts the immune system, regulates blood pressure, heart rate and stress hormones, enhances vitality and reduces anxiety and depression. Forests are the original antidote to stress and stress-related illness. We spent the first several million years of our existence in them. Then, a couple of millenia ago—in evolutionary time scale, only yesterday--our adventurous spirits inspired a global exploration. This morning we invented cities. A bit before the noonday break we became industrialized. Suddenly, while our genes are still living in the forest, our bodies live in the busy, stressful conditions of modern civilization. The solution: Forest Therapy. Simply take a walk in the woods. Your body, mind, and spirit will thank you for it. We are inspired by a vision of land management and healthcare systems that support gentle visits to forests as a core strategy for planetary and human health and wellbeing. In My Nature and the Institute of Forest Therapy are founding members of the International Nature and Forest Therapy Alliance (INFTA). We are proud to acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the Country on which we live and work. We value and respect their deep and continued spiritual and cultural connections to the land, waters and seas, and pay our respects to their Ancestors and Elders past, present and future.
