Guided Forest Bathing Walk in a Hidden SE London Woodland

1 hour 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English and 1 more

Step into a secret slice of nature hidden within the southeast corner of London, an area known for its history.
This isn’t your typical tour, it’s a chance to truly slow down in nature and learn new skills. Explore an intimate woodland that is part of the Great North Wood, notice the light, textures and shapes of nature. Experience London’s natural beauty up close, at a much slower pace. Your guide will show you special ways to connect and appreciate nature in a whole new way, using mirrors and frames. Connect with the natural world through guided, mindful activities and quiet reflection - a great antidote to the hustle and bustle of the city centre. Discover a unique and refreshing way to recharge in an urban setting only 45 minutes away from the centre of London and connect with like-minded others during a truly unique experience. Afterwards enjoy the many local cafes and even visit the beautiful Crystal Palace Park, with its famous "dinosaurs". This is hidden London at its best.

    Discover the joy of Forest Bathing in a hidden woodland so secret that even locals don’t know about it! This mindful experience will help you see the world with new eyes and leave you deeply relaxed. I'll introduce you to Forest Bathing, or "Shinrin Yoku," a Japanese practice of slowing down and connecting with nature to reduce stress. Following gentle paths, you’ll take part in mindfulness activities to awaken your senses and deepen your connection to nature. The mostly silent walk allows space for reflection, with optional sharing. Led by an experienced guide, this small-group activity (max 10) is fun, unique, and perfect for making memories with friends, family or exploring on your own. The session ends with “forest tea” and you'll receive an MP3 forest bathing audio link. Suitable for most abilities, inc children 8+, the 400m walk has gentle slopes. Reconnect with nature - no equipment or skills required, just an open mind! *For private sessions, please contact me.*
