Forest Bathing

Join us for an immersive woodland experiences called Shinrin Yoku, or forest bathing. In this session, Helen will invite participants to slow down, and deeply connect with nature through a series of sensory activities. Research shows these mindful forest experiences are beneficial for psychological wellbeing, while also fostering a reciprocal relationship with nature.
For this session Bloom has teamed up with Helen Todd, who is passionate about nature connection as a tool for both improving mental health and wellbeing, and inspiring people to take better care of the environment. She holds an International Forest Therapy Guide Diploma. Helen has a background working with charities in the UK and internationally in leadership, innovation, and arts for social change roles.

For this session we will meet at the entrance to Heeley & Meersbrook Allotments, Carfield Lane, S8 9HW. We will then take a walk through Cat Lane Woods and end with a hot drink and snacks at Big Bloom, our community garden at Heeley & Meersbrook Allotments.

This event is for women and non-binary people. We are a trans-inclusive organisation.
