Sacred Slieve Gullion mountain is a perfect place to deepen your spiritual connection with nature. Forest Therapy Practitioner Ann will support you to slow down, rest and reconnect with nature. Forest Bathing/Shinrin Yoku (forest bath through your senses) is an evidence-based, wellness practice which originated in Japan in the 1980’s as a stress prevention intervention. 2 hours in the forest builds immunity for up to 10 days. Some other benefits include: boosting mood, energy, sleep and creativity. We will celebrate our nature immersion with a tea ceremony.
This event is within the Mourne Gullion Strangford UNESCO Global Geopark https://mournegullionstrangfordgeopark.com/
