Escape the noise and spend your Saturday morning immersed in nature. Slow down, reconnect through guided forest bathing, and nature

🌲 FORAGE YOURSELF HAPPY 🌲

Weekly Forest Therapy Immersion/York

Every Week | 8am - 10am

Step away from the rush of everyday life and sink into the stillness of the forest.

Join us each week for a deeply restorative Forest Therapy immersion in the beautiful pine woodlands of Allerthorpe Woods, a peaceful Forestry England site just outside York. Surrounded by towering pines, birdsong, woodland scents and hidden wildlife, this is your invitation to slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with nature through all of your senses.

This is not a hike or fitness walk.

This is a guided woodland immersion inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku, often translated as “forest bathing”, where we gently wander through the woods at a slow pace, using sensory and mindfulness-based invitations designed to calm the nervous system and reconnect us with the natural world.

During the session we may explore:

🍃 Sensory woodland practices

🌲 Mindful walking beneath the pine canopy

🪶 Nature connection invitations

🍄 Seasonal foraging awareness and woodland education

☕ Grounding moments with woodland tea

🧘 Gentle guided relaxation

🐿 Quiet observation of wildlife and natural rhythms

Allerthorpe Woods is known for its peaceful woodland trails, beautiful pine trees, heathland areas and abundance of wildlife, creating the perfect setting for full forest immersion. The forest changes beautifully with the seasons, meaning no two sessions are ever the same.

These sessions are ideal for anyone feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, anxious, creatively blocked or simply craving time away from screens and noise. Many guests leave feeling lighter, calmer, grounded and more connected to themselves.
