“And the forest perfume—trees and earth—it’s like incense in a shrine.
You fall into a state of… prayer.” – Keiichi Sigsawa
When was the last time you ventured into a forest? The birds chirping, leaves bobbing, shadows dancing—not one other human in sight, just tree after tree guiding you deeper into their home, into our home. With our lives becoming ever more urban-centered, many people have lost their connection to the natural world and its inherent healing qualities. Lucky for us, Shinrin Yoku, the Japanese art of forest bathing, provides many options and opportunities to welcome and embrace nature’s therapeutic modalities in our daily lives.
