Forest Bathing in the Spring Equinox – Piana delle Mele, Bocca di Valle
Gift yourself the quiet of nature this Spring Equinox and join us for Forest Bathing in Piana delle Mele, Bocca di Valle, far, far away from the overwhelm that has become our modern world. Take yourself to a place where nothing matters except walking slowly and quietly, soaking in the smells, textures and gentle soundscape of this beautiful and ancient pine forest.
What is Forest Bathing?
Forest bathing is not just a simple walk in the woods, it is a way of immersing oneself in nature for health and wellness benefits. Unlike hiking, forest bathing encourages participants to slow down, breathe deeply, and observe their surroundings on a deeper, sensory level, to tap into all the beauty and benefits that nature offers.
Usually lasting between two to three hours, and covering a distance of no more than a mile, a typical Forest Bathing session offers complete relaxation through exercises designed to facilitate a deep immersion in the forest atmosphere through using all the senses. These exercises will be interspersed with periods of slow and silent walking, free from any technology or distractions, before coming to a complete stop with a guided relaxation under the canopy of trees. A rather lovely way of letting go for a few hours, whilst experiencing the natural and wild beauty of Abruzzo.
Although you will mainly be in silence, there will be opportunities to share your experiences within the group should you wish. By the end of the session, most people leave the forest feeling happy, calm and at peace, refreshed and with a clear, settled mind.
