This guided Forest Bathing (Shinrin yoku) experience takes place in Kings Park and offers a gentle opportunity to reconnect with yourself through mindful sensory engagement with the natural environment.

Forest Bathing is not a hike or fitness activity. It is a slow guided walk that invites you to notice what is already present such as textures sounds scents and subtle movements of the forest allowing the nervous system to settle and attention to soften.

• Guided Forest Bathing and mindfulness with a certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide
• A slow paced walk over a short distance with time for stillness rest and reflection
• Simple nature-based activities that support presence sensory awareness and connection
• Optional opportunities for quiet reflection and gentle sharing
• Herbal tea and light refreshments at the conclusion of the session
• Small group size with a maximum of 10 participants to support a calm personal experience

Kings Park offers a unique urban bushland setting with open woodland and seasonal wildflowers that support a sense of ease and spaciousness.
