About this activity
We go for a mindful walk, very slow in pace, breathing, like a walking meditation. The whole idea is to become superaware of the senses, reconnect with nature and rewild ourselves.

The scientifically-proven benefits of Shinrin-yoku include:
• Boosted immune system functioning, with an increase in the count of the body’s Natural Killer (NK) cells.
• Reduced blood pressure.
• Reduced stress.
• Improved mood.
• Increased ability to focus, even in children with ADHD.
• Accelerated recovery from surgery or illness.
• Increased energy level.
• Improved sleep.

Go to a Forest. Walk slowly. Breathe. Open all your senses.
This is the healing way of Shinrin-yoku Forest Therapy, 
the medicine of simply being in the forest.

This activity could be restricted during raptor´s nesting period.
