EP37: Forest Bathing...Can Nature Be Therapy?

from The Mindtea Podcast Hosted by Issie Wan

What if there was a way of experiencing nature that goes beyond just going for a walk? In today’s episode, I sit with Linda Prigarska, founder of The Wild Pause and the UK's leading forest bathing expert, certified directly by Dr. Qing Li, founder of shinrin-yoku (Japanese term for forest bathing). We cover: what forest bathing actually is and what a session looks like the science behind nature therapy why modern lifestyles may have made us increasingly disconnected from nature practical ways you can bring the benefits of forest bathing into your everyday life Linda Prigarska is a certified forest bathing guide, trained through the Forest Bathing Institute in the UK and INFOM in Japan. She is the first UK guide certified through INFOM directly by Dr. Qing Li. From Latvia and based in London, she runs woodland immersions to help busy Londoners slow down and reconnect with nature and themselves.
