Forest Bathing (mindful nature connection) at Nether Edge Festival

Forest Bathing practitioner Helen Todd will guide you through a thoughtfully curated forest bathing walk, inspired by the changing season, to help you slow down, quieten your mind, and awaken your senses to the magic of connecting with nature.

As the evening settles in, we'll ease into the gentle rhythm of nature, exploring the trees and green spaces of Chelsea Park in Nether Edge. This is a chance to nurture your wellbeing and bring balance to mind, body, and spirit, as we move slowly through the space, pausing along the way to explore simple invitations, enjoy some solo time, and come back together to share what we're noticing.

As the light begins to fade, we'll gather for a reflections over a warming herbal infusion, awakening the sense of taste and bringing a quiet, grounding close to the evening.

Participants often say forest bathing helps them feel more relaxed, and helps them to see and sense even familiar green spaces in a new way. As Tracey, who recently joined a session in Chelsea Park put it:

"It was a wonderfully mindful experience that left me feeling grounded, peaceful and much more connected to the natural world. I came away with a renewed appreciation for the beauty that's all around us, even in a familiar local park. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it."
