Being connected with nature
What is a Nature Being?
A nature being is to recognise and embrace our intrinsic connection to the natural world. It means understanding that we are not separate from nature but a part of its vast, interwoven tapestry. A nature being lives in harmony with the rhythms of the earth, finding balance, peace, and purpose through this connection. It’s about honouring the elements that sustain us—air, water, soil, sun—and cultivating a deep appreciation for the beauty and wisdom of the world around us. Being a nature being is a journey back to our roots, a call to live mindfully as part of something greater.
When we embrace our connection with nature
it restores our sense of being in the world.

CONNECTING WITH NATURE
When we step onto a forest therapy pathway, we are invited to slow down, breathe deeply, and tune in to the wisdom of the natural world. This reconnection with the earth not only soothes our minds but also revitalizes our spirits, grounding us in the present moment. Through nature, we can rediscover ourselves and our place within the greater web of life.
Most of us find ourselves living in bustling cities rather than rural landscapes, and in doing so, we lost our connection with the natural world.
As we drifted away from the rhythms and beauty of nature that once inspired and grounded us, moving into cityscapes where environmental awareness fades, our well-being also fades, and the balance of life around us becomes disrupted.
When we connect with nature, it helps to restore balance, promotes well-being, and fosters a deeper appreciation for the environment we depend on.
Even without research we intuitively know that being in nature we feel better. The research demonstrates that connecting with nature can improve many health problems such as reducing stress, boosting our immune system, and improve our overall mental and physical well-being.
Forest Therapy is one such pathway that re-connects people with nature to support and enhance our well-being. It originates from the Japanese practice called *Shinrin-yoku, which literally translates to "forest bathing."
A Forest Bathing experience gives you tools to re-activate your connection with nature and simultaneously nurtures your relationship with the natural environment.
