Forest Bathing in Dartmoor
Take your existing meditation practice outside into the beautiful green wood, or just sit and feel the unconditional healing intimacy of nature. I will act as your guide for a trip back into our primal past to sit amongst the trees, to recharge and feel deeply rested by their presence.

There is no water involved in Forest Bathing! apart from sitting next to the river that runs through of it of course...the clothes stay permanently on! :)
Shinrin Yoku : In Japan, a forest bathing trip is called shinrin-yoku (森林浴)
Immerse your senses in the old woodlands of Dartmoor, in places of astounding beauty and peace. Let the forest take its restorative effects on your body and mind, its so simple.
Come straight to our home in Manaton, East Dartmoor, or you can park in the village car park and enjoy a lovely walk to us past the picturesque St Winifred's Church (only half a mile). Or we can organise a Bed and Breakfast locally for you if you are visiting from afar.
We will set off walking to the forest to places where you can choose a tree to sit under - you will need walking boots, some water, waterproofs and snacks. The minimum session lasts for 2 hours but we can make it longer if you wish - up to a maximum of 4 hours depending on the weather and conditions. The walk to the forest is about half a mile downhill, which means half a mile uphill at the end. Some of the terrain in the forest is typical for Dartmoor so a reasonable level of fitness will be necessary but we can set the pace to suit you … it's not a boot camp!
At the end of the meditation session, and the walk back, you will be served delicious loose leaf Chinese Green Tea and biscuits or even perhaps home made cake! on our patio high up over-looking the forest we have been sitting in.
What better way to spend a few hours away from the busyness of town life or the tourist traps of Devon!
Sound good?
