Forest Bathing at St Wulstan's Nature Reserve, Malvern, Worcestershire

Come and experience the magic of forest bathing on the beautiful Malvern Hills. Forest bathing is a health and wellbeing practice that originated in Japan, with the name referring to immersing our senses in the atmosphere of the woodland.

2.5 Hour Forest Bathing Experience

Slow down. Breathe deeply. Feel held beneath the canopy.

When was the last time you truly paused?

Join us for a gentle, guided forest bathing experience where you'll be invited to slow your pace, awaken your senses, and reconnect with the natural world. Forest bathing isn't about hiking or covering distance - it's about being present and noticing and connecting with what's around you. Through a series of mindful invitations, we'll explore the woodland with curiosity, allowing nature to soothe the mind, restore the body, and nurture the spirit.

Research has shown that spending mindful time in woodland can:

Reduce stress and anxiety
