connecting with our true nature
What is Nature Being?
Nature Being offers guided Forest Bathing and nature connection walks in Sydney, inviting you to slow down, unwind, and rediscover our connection with the natural world - and with yourself. These gentle, restorative experiences focus less on distance and more on presence, creating space to notice and appreciate nature’s simple beauty. Each walk is an opportunity to take time out, to relax, lift your spirits and tap into the calming, energising power of the just being in nature, helping you to find meaning in both life’s quiet details and its grand moments.
Nature doesn’t just surround us; it welcomes us back and restores our sense of being in the world
On a Forest Therapy path way, we invite you to go slowly, breathe deeply, and tune in to the natural world. This deliberate pace helps to restore our connection with the earth, soothes the mind, revitalises our spirits and grounds us in the present moment.
When we choose to connect with nature it bridges the gap between us and the natural world, it promotes a greater sense of well-being, and nurtures a deeper appreciation for the environment we depend on.

Connecting with nature
Most of us live in busy cities filled with constant noise and distractions. This can overload our senses, draining our attention and leaving us less able to focus, control our behaviour, or reach our goals.
Scientific research demonstrates, that nature has the unique power to restore our attention and our ability to focus.
What we know now, is that nature is far more interconnected with the human mind. According to Dr Marc Berman, at the heart of this connection is attention - the foundation of everything our minds can do. Dr. Marc Berman explains, attention is the shared resource that underpins our cognitive, physical, social, and emotional well-being.
Spending time in nature offers a powerful way to restore balance and renew our tired senses. Forest Therapy, inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku (meaning forest bathing) guides us back into harmony with the natural world. Through this experience, we learn simple yet profound ways to reconnect - emerging calmer, more grounded, and deeply replenished.

When we embrace our connection with nature we are reminded, we too, are nature beings
As Nature Being’s, we can 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 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.
