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. This taster session will start with a guided meditation. You will have invitations to try out some activities to connect with the natural space and connect in as a group.
Comfort, Safety & What to Bring:
- Wear suitable walking shoes, boots or wellies to the walk, warm and waterproof layers
-Water & snacks, maybe a notebook - Your childlike sense of curiosity!
Travel & Transport:
Rosie McLoughlin - After finding forest bathing through colleague Caitlin Keddie, I completed training as a Forest Bathing Guide with the Forest Therapy Hub (European Institute) in November 2021 and attended further training in May 2022. In addition to this Forest Bathing Guide training, I also work as an Applied Psychologist and have over ten years experience working in mental health settings. I find the practice has very beneficial effects on mental wellbeing and is a great opportunity to practise self-care.
Travel & Transport
For those travelling from Edinburgh city centre, one of the entrances to St. Mark's Park is located on Bonnington Road, close to MacDonald road. The park is approximately a 30 minute walk from the city centre, accessible by multiple bus routes, such as the number 10, 11, 16 or 23 (coming from different entrances). It is also easily accessible by bike and there is some parking available on nearby streets.
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.
