If you want to reduce stress, open your senses or simply get in touch with nature, then you’ve come to the right place.
Forest bathing / Shinrin Yoku originated in Japan. What may sound esoteric at first has been well researched in terms of its health benefits. Just two hours a week in the forest can increase your sense of well-being.
I regularly combine the exercises with two other concepts that also originated in Japan.
- Ikigai is a term that stands for harmony and sustainability. Ikigai is characterised, for example, by finding joy in small things and focusing on the here and now. Many people have forgotten how to do this due to the sensory overload of everyday life.
- Nagomi is also a central component of the Japanese philosophy of life, describing a feeling of lightness, emotional balance, well-being and tranquillity.
All three concepts have significantly influenced the green component of the AnimaCorpo coaching approach, which aims to achieve the right balance between things.
Feel free to join the publicly available sessions or contact me for your own group event at thorsten@animacorpo.de.
