Forest Bathing Experince and Wellness Photography Class

Immerse yourself in a day full of mindfulness, creativity and culinary delights as you explore the benefits of nature and capture it in beautiful photos.

Your adventure begins with a warm welcome of tea, coffee, Forest Kombucha, delectable pastries from Forest Bake House, and a burst of freshness from an array of seasonal fruits.

Energised by your breakfast, you'll then join acclaimed photographer Andy Squiff for a mindful photography and forest bathing hike in the enchanting Forest of Dean. Experience the Japanese art of Shinrin Yoku—forest bathing—by immersing yourself in the tranquillity of dense woodlands straight from the venue.

Take in the beauty of the season, allow nature to soothe your senses and embark on a scenic walk. In the autumn, you'll also have the chance to try leaf-peeping. Don your cosiest sweater, revel in crunchy leaves and travel through the colourful world of the forest's changing landscape.

Then it's time to indulge your tastebuds with forest flavours as you dine on a lunch featuring a wild boar and butter bean stew adorned with carrots, star anise, and green beans. Or graze tables in the garden room for summer dining. A vegan/vegetarian option is also available. This is then followed by a double choc mousse or free-from sorbet.

In the afternoon, you can then explore breathwork and Qi Gong with Andy Squiff. Whether surrounded by the tranquillity of the woods or back at the comforting embrace of Mill End, this experience promises to rejuvenate your mind and body.

Round off this restorative experience with a cup of tea and cake before leaving with a heart full of memories and a refreshed spirit.

On the hunt for some fun group activities with a difference? Whether you need a relaxing hen party or a unique team building activity, unwind with your pals in this special experience.

This experience can be modified. For instance, you can swap out one of the activities if you would like to include some company training or strategic planning.
