Forest Bathing Experience & Wellness Lunch – Sunday 20th July
Nurture your wellbeing through nature with a guided forest bathing experience that gently awakens the senses through breathwork, meditation, and connection to the natural elements.
Sunday 20th July
With today’s always-on lifestyle, it’s easy to feel disconnected. This summer, step into the peaceful embrace of the New Forest and experience the calming practice of forest bathing – a gentle, meditative walk designed to help you slow down, reset, and reconnect with the natural world.
Led by Jess, a Shinrin-Yoku coach and member of our fitness team, this guided experience will awaken your senses to the sights, sounds, and scents of the forest. Move at a tranquil pace through ancient woodland, pausing to notice the texture of leaves, the scent of the earth, and the dappled light filtering through the trees. You’ll be invited to explore the art of presence through standing and seated meditation, mindful breathwork, and simple techniques to deepen relaxation and inner stillness.
Throughout the experience, Spa Boutique Manager Hazel will share her expertise in essential oils and their role in supporting emotional wellbeing, adding a deeply nurturing element to this restorative journey.
The experience will be offered in two groups. The morning group will take part in the guided walk before returning to Careys Manor for a light wellness lunch. The afternoon group will enjoy lunch first, followed by their forest bathing session. Whether your walk begins or ends the day, the lunch provides a peaceful moment to reflect, nourish, and extend the sense of calm cultivated in the forest.
