Golden Hour Forest Bathing

5.30pm – 7.30pm

Guided by Heather from Wild Heather Wellness, a certified Forest Therapy Practitioner (CMA-Accredited), each monthly session invites you to slow down, learn about nature connection, and enjoy a mindful and reflective time outdoors.

Through a mindful walk with nature insights, a sensory meditation, and a series of exploratory forest bathing invitations, you’ll deepen your relationship with the natural world. The experience closes with herbal tea, guided journaling, and a gentle sharing circle, leaving you restored and more deeply connected to yourself and the earth we call home.

Who’s it for?
People craving calm, nature connection, or grounding.
Anyone navigating stress, burnout, and digital overwhelm.
Nature-lovers, creatives, spiritual-seekers, and outdoor explorers.
Neurodivergent folks
(Studies show that Forest Therapy can be beneficial for sensory processing, stress reduction, attention restoration, and emotional regulation, making it a naturally supportive practice.)
