Forest bathing is a nature connection practice that originates in Japan. The walk is a quiet, gentle and mindful experience where you have permission to slow down.
As your guide I will bring you as part of a small group (10 people maximum) on a journey to awaken the senses and deepen your connection to the woodland. We start with a guided meditation. You will have invitations to try out new activities to connect with the natural space and connect in as a group. The walk will finish with a short tea ceremony.
Comfort, Safety & What to Bring:
- Wear suitable walking shoes, boots or wellies to the walk, warm and waterproof layers, especially in winter
-Water & snacks, maybe a notebook - Your childlike sense of curiosity!
Travel & Transport:
The park is accessible by car, bike and on foot with parking available. There is a limited bus service running from Edinburgh, with the 51 bus departing from the centre and requiring a further 30 minute walk to the park.
The weather:
The walk will go ahead in most weather conditions, including some patches of rain. A variety of weather conditions can offer great new ways to connect with nature. If there is a weather warning listed on the day of the walk, the walk will be cancelled and you will be sent a refund.
Additional Information:
Unfortunately, this trail is not wheelchair accessible. This forest bathing walk is for adults (16+), and babes in arms are welcome, but, the trail is not suitable for buggys. Due to the slow meditative aspects of the walk, we ask you to keep dogs and other pets at home.
No swimming happens on the walk & bathing costumes are not needed!
If you have any questions, please contact your guide Rosie via social media or email
