Shinrin-yoku
We will also have time to explore the forest and experience shinrin-yoku in winter.
According to the ancient Japanese art of forest bathing, "the sounds of the forest, the scent of the trees, the sunlight playing through the barren and see-through branches, the fresh, minty and clean air — give us a sense of true oxygenation that improves our immunity and sense of self repair. They ease our stress and worry, help us to relax and to think more clearly".
"Being in nature can restore our mood, give us back our energy and vitality, refresh and rejuvenate us".
