🌿 What is Forest Therapy?
Forest Therapy is a relational practice that encourages well-being by immersing individuals in nature through a series of invitations. Inspired by Shinrin-yoku or Forest Bathing, participants slow down and engage their senses, deepening their connection to the environment.
