Shinrin-yoku is a term that means "taking in the forest atmosphere" or "forest bathing." It was developed in Japan during the 1980s and has become a cornerstone of preventive health care and healing in Japanese medicine. Researchers primarily in Japan and South Korea have established a robust body of scientific literature on the health benefits of spending time under the canopy of a living forest. Now their research is helping to establish shinrin-yoku and forest therapy throughout the world.

Go to a Forest. Walk slowly. Breathe. Open all your senses.

the medicine of simply being in the forest.
Opening our senses to nature also develops our intuition. We learn to contact in new ways the world around us.
"You didn't come into this world.
You came out of it, like a wave from the ocean.
You are not a stranger here."
Alan Watts
