Discover Shinrin Yoku - the Japanese Art of Treebathing and how nature can be used as a form of therapy

Open Is this course right for me?

Tuesday 1-3pm. The aim of this course is to discover the science behind how this Japanese concept can help improve our mood (wherever we live). This course is aimed at people who would like to maintain and sustain their health and well-being. It is not a
therapy session, is not suitable for those experiencing a mental health crisis and not intended to replace any medical advice or healthcare services. If you have a trauma-related diagnosis, or a severe and enduring mental health consideration, you may wish to discuss this with your doctor, case worker, community mental health team, or the course tutor before enrolling. All attendees are asked to take personal responsibility for
their own learning and well-being, to collaborate in a way that ensures a safe learning environment for the whole group and only take part in activities which feel right for them. No guarantee of any specific results is given or implied.
