Shinrin-Yoku: Forest Bathing Experience

Shinrin-yoku (森林浴), which literally translates to ‘forest bath,’ is the Japanese practice of ‘bathing’ oneself in nature with the intention of receiving therapeutic benefits. Beginning in Japan in the 1980s (the word, itself, was coined by the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in 1982), the practice of shinrin-yoku has since spread widely across the planet — this is the first guided tour operating in Slovenia that teach the benefits of forest therapy.

“Forest Bathing” also known as Forest Therapy is a growing trend that is about immersing oneself in the healing properties of trees and plants. Join knowledgeable and experienced eco-tour guides for the ultimate forest bathing experience to embrace the healing properties of the forest.

The “Forest Bathing”concept is inspired by the Japanese practice of Shin-rin-Yoku, which translates to “taking in the forest atmosphere.” It involves walking — quietly, slowly and deliberately — in a forest, and taking in the sounds, scents, colours, forms and the vibe of nature.

We will absorb the forest’s healing ambience. Key to the experience is the inhalation of wood essential oils, similar to natural aromatherapy, but visual, auditory, and other sensory stimuli are also important.
