Shinrin Yoku, or "forest bathing," is a Japanese practice that immerses you in nature’s sights, sounds, and scents to restore balance. Rooted in the belief that deep nature connection brings healing, this practice has been part of Japanese culture for decades. During our Banff weekend experience, you’ll be guided through this mindful journey in the park’s stunning landscapes.
The term "forest bath" refers to soaking in the atmosphere of the forest, not literal bathing. This practice encourages you to slow down and fully engage with nature, from listening to rustling leaves to feeling tree bark beneath your fingers.
The benefits include reduced stress, improved immunity, and a deeper sense of well-being. In Banff, Shinrin Yoku helps you reconnect with the land, fostering presence and clarity. It’s an opportunity to absorb nature’s healing energy and leave feeling recharged.
