Shinrin-What? A Beginner’s Dip into Forest Bathing

from The Forest Connection · host Paul Fehringer

In this episode of The Forest Connection, we’ll step into the gentle, grounding practice of forest bathing. No swimsuits or soap required — just your senses, your breath, and a willingness to slow down. I’ll introduce what forest bathing is, where it comes from, and how you can try it for yourself, whether on a quiet trail, in a local park, or even in your backyard. Together, we’ll explore how spending intentional time among trees can reduce stress, boost creativity, and reconnect us with the natural world.👉 Join me for this beginner-friendly journey into the healing power of the forest. 🌿If you enjoyed this episode, please consider subscribing, leaving a review, and sharing with someone who could use a little nature in their life.
