What is Forest Bathing?
Forest Bathing which is a multi sensory nature based mindful practice. Forest Bathing originates from Japanese and it is the Japanese government’s antidote to high tech fast paced culture.
This Japanese practice is designed to get us out of heads and into our 5 senses. Known in Japan as shinrin yoku.
The simple method of being calm and quiet amongst the trees, observing nature around you whilst breathing deeply can help de-stress and boost health and wellbeing in a natural way.
Let’s unlock your inner creativity and I will guide you step by step towards creating something truly unique.
You are welcome to request your preferred dates, and location. I look forward to meeting you.
What you'll get
A personalised crafted piece of nature to take home, similar to the pieces pictured that you’ll have the freedoom to chose. Classes can be trialed as one off session where you will get the chance to create one item. Each session will have different pieces ready for you to craft.
Knowledge required
It doesn’t matter if you wouldn’t say you are artistic. This is the perfect session for anyone who is a beginner and is up for trying Forest Bathing or Nature Crafts. Crafting is optional if you would rather chill after the Country Walk ‍️, fire and Forest Bathing.
What to bring
Bring something you can sit spot on such as a yoga mat or picnic blanket. Comfortable shoes that you are happy to get muddy and you can walk around 4 miles for up to 90 minutes in (there and back) on mainly flat land, bring coat with a hood where possible, bring warmer clothes than usual, including a jumper, even in summer.
England is know for four seasons in one day. If the weather is raining we can change the timing of the class if needed around the forecast, I will message you the day before with the new timings for the following day and I will message you in the morning if the weather forecast changes. There is an indoor space for the crafting if it gets chilly.
This is part of being at one with nature and Forest Bathing, we work with the elements. Don’t worry the earliest start will be 10am, so you hopefully will be able to have a little bit of a lay in either way.

I am a nature lover and I am a qualified Forest School as well as a Nature Crafts Facilitator. I am also training to become a Positive Energy Meditation Teacher.
I have fallen in love with Forest Bathing which is a multi sensory nature based mindful practice. Forest Bathing originates from Japanese and it is the Japanese government’s antidote to high tech fast paced culture.
I discovered it after moving to the countryside after living in Brighton & London in my teens and 20s.
This Japanese practice is designed to get us out of heads and into our 5 senses. Known in Japan as shinrin yoku.
The simple method of being calm and quiet amongst the trees, observing nature around you whilst breathing deeply can help de-stress and boost health and wellbeing in a natural way.
I came across Nature Crafts while practicing Forest Bathing. This has enabled me to intrinsically reconnect with my inner child and my passion for art after being in the corporate world for the last 10 years. I have come full circle and proudly get to use puts my arts education to good use.
My nature based workshops are inspired by my crafts, I love working with flowers, the five elements and materials that can be found in nature. My teaching encourages reconnection to ourselves using the five senses.
Let’s unlock your inner creativity and I will guide you step by step towards creating something truly unique.
