connecting with our true nature
What is Nature Being?
Nature Being offers guided forest bathing and forest therapy experiences that help people slow down, restore balance, and reconnect with the natural world. Inspired by the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, our sessions provide gentle, evidence-based wellbeing support through mindful time in nature.
Our guided forest bathing sessions are not hikes or fitness activities but slow, mindful walks that awaken the senses and reveal the forest’s restorative qualities. Through gentle invitations and pauses, participants often discover a deep sense of calm, presence, and renewal. A chance to reset and recharge, an opportunity to step away from pressure and simply be.
Nature Being’s mission is to nurture nature connection
Nature Being specialises in nature therapy experiences for adults seeking stress reduction, emotional balance, and meaningful connection with nature. Our sessions are especially supportive for those navigating busy lives, life transitions, caregiving roles, or burnout. We also offer experiences that resonate with womens wellbeing and healthy ageing, providing nurturing spaces for restoration and reflection.

Connecting with nature
Most of us live in urban environments filled with constant noise and distractions. This can overload our senses, draining our attention and leaving us less able to focus, mentally fatigued, or disconnected.
Forest bathing is a simple yet powerful way to experience relaxation in nature, support, mental wellbeing and regulate the nervous system. Research shows that immersive time in natural environments can reduce stress hormones, improve mood, enhance clarity, and support overall health.
Nature Being translates this growing science of nature connection and health into accessible, guided experiences for everyday people.
Guided Forest Therapy is a unique way to restore our attention, our focus and our senses.
This experience teaches us simple yet profound ways to reconnect - emerging calmer, more grounded, and deeply replenished.

Embracing our connection with nature we are reminded, we too, are nature’s beings
As Nature Being’s, we can recognise and embrace our intrinsic connection to the natural world. It means understanding we are not separate from nature but a part of its vast, interwoven tapestry. A Nature Being is about celebrating the elements that sustain us, air, water, wind, soil, sun and cultivating a deep relationship and appreciation for the beauty and wisdom of the world around us. As a Nature Being we journey back to our roots, a call to live mindfully as part of something greater.
