Britain's What's On Event Guide
Forest bathing retreat in Berkshire
Step away from the noise. Reconnect with nature. Reconnect with yourself. This is not just a lovely day out as a 'nice to have', it's a necessity for any woman pouring from an empty cup.
Modern life keeps us in a constant state of stimulation; screens, schedules, stress. But research shows that spending intentional time in nature can rewire our nervous systems, boost immunity, and improve mental clarity.
This retreat will help you reset, using the Japanese practice of forest bathing (Shinrin-yoku), combined with the healing power of human connection.
Why Forest Bathing
Reduce cortisol levels (the stress hormone)
Lower blood pressure and heart rate
Enhance immune function by increasing natural killer (NK) cell activity
Improve mood and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression
Boost creativity, focus, and cognitive performance
Forest bathing works by engaging all your senses; sight, sound, smell, touch, and even taste helping you shift from “doing” to simply being.
Humans are wired for connection. When we gather in safe, supportive spaces with like-minded people, we experience:
Increased oxytocin (the bonding hormone)
Greater emotional resilience
A sense of belonging and shared purpose
Motivation to sustain healthy habits
This retreat offers a rare opportunity to slow down, connect deeply, and feel seen, not just by others, but by yourself.
