Initiation au Shinrin Yoku, bain de forêt, dans la Forêts de Soignes

We loved our first experience of shirin yoku. Taking the time to discover the forest and ourselves!

L'expérience de Shirin Yoku avec Nolwenn fut un moment très intense. S'arrêter quelques heures pour respirer plus pronfondément et rédecouvrir la nature par ses 5 sens est un cadeau!

I booked a private shinrin yoku session with Explore-Share, but unfortunately their guide was injured and couldn't do it. Gauthier had been very helpful, quick to communicate and agreed to work with another guide he'd never met. All went well. My first forest bath guided by Magda was powerful and I appreciated the experience so much. She was calm, reassuring, and led all the invitations smoothly and sensitively. An eye-opening experience that will be fondly remembered.

So close to Brussels but so far from the city…. In a beautiful and peaceful area (Arboretum de Jezus Eik, Forêt de Soignes), I enjoyed a moment of pure wellness and connection with nature and with myself. The Shinrin Yoku experience was really appreciated. It was a nice break in the running everyday life. Being the mother of a lovely 15 months old girl, it was great to have a moment for me, where the only thing you have to do is touch, breath, smell, feel the nature around me as you wouldn’t do if you were going on a “normal” walk across the forest. The group was very small (never big anyway) and I didn’t know the other participants. We were following the soft voice of our guide, Nolwenn, and all this, at a very low walking rhythm. The fact to concentrate on the nature around me, to slow down and live the moment without thinking in all logistics themes was a real resourcing experience. Nolwenn is a very nice guide. She made us live this forest bath following the rhythm of the group. She also made us highly appreciate recommendations on the equipment to wear and bring with us. This was perfect to have the right amount of layers to be comfortable during the whole morning. In the end, there was also a small surprise that my stomach really appreciate. When I came back to the city, a feeling of lightness and inner calm was still there and remained for a few days. I didn’t see the time pass by and will certainly repeat the experience. Maybe at another time of the year, in order to enjoy the forest at another season, with other plants and another moment of nature’s cycle. Thank Explore-Share to propose so many attractive outdoor activities to do with friends, alone, or with the family!

Un moment hors du temps de (re)connexion avec la nature, accompagnés avec beaucoup de bienveillance et de professionnalisme par Nolwen. Une expérience à recommander qui nous porte bien au-delà de cette matinée !

J'ai eu l'occasion de découvrir le bain de forêt, grâce à la guide Nolwenn. Un expérience formidable, qui permet de revivre la forêt autrement : lenteur, bruits à écouter, textures à toucher, lumières à observer... un véritable éveil des 5 sens, aux bénéfices ressentis encore longtemps. A conseiller sans hésitation!

An excellent moment of calm and introspection in the company of Nature. "Just around the corner", easy to plan and to plug in our day-to-day life. I am used to walk in the woods, but this is woods 2.0. To experience, repeat and repeat. Thank you Explore&Share for letting me discover this.

We had a fantastic moment in the forest together with Nolwenn. We enjoyed taking the time to observe nature and feel how it inspire us. Thank you Nolwenn. It is just a start...

Expérience inoubliable et bienfaisante. Nolwenn était instructive et prévenante, elle avait pensé aux moindre détails pour notre confort.

Un moment inoubliable de "lâcher prise" et de relaxation

I joined one of Nolwenn’s sylvotherapy workshops in January 2021. It was very interesting to experience the different technics of forest bathing (Shinrin Yoku), learn about all the benefits that the trees can bring to human physical and mental's health, disconnect in nature for a couple of hours (close from home) and discover an area of La Forêt de Soignes that I didn’t know before. Nolwenn is a great expert and she manages the group dynamic very well. Highly recommended!

Nolwenn est très attentive à l'esprit du groupe et s'adapte en fonction. Un bain de sérénité pour l'esprit et le corps

Nolwenn nous a fait vivre une très belle expérience de reliance avec la forêt de Soignes et de partage entre nous. Un superbe moyen de faire une petite introspection sur l'année écoulée et d'accueillir 2021 avec confiance.

C’était une découverte merveilleuse pour moi: un bain d’énergie, de poésie, de forces guérissantes comme si non seulement la forêt nous avait communiqué sa vitalité mais aussi nous invitait à plonger dans notre propre puissance personnelle. Nolwenn nous a partagé son enthousiasme et ses mille et un outils pour faciliter cette expérience à la fois toute simple, accessible à tous et hors du commun. J’ai apprécié sa compétence en matière écologique et de dynamique de groupe, et surtout son entrain, son écoute et son humour. Bref , je conseille à tous cette aventure pétillante et étonnement thérapeutique avec Nolwenn.
