**Shinrin Yoku is the Japanese practice of forest bathing, and on these half-day workshops in Brussels, I would like to guide you on this enriching path back to nature and contemplation.** 

If you have not practiced forest bathing before, you may wonder how it is different from a hike. Forest bathing combines slow-pacing, conscious attention using and fine-tuning all of the senses, and breathwork. It also involves ritual and sharing as a way of enhancing awareness.

Some of the benefits of forest bathing, which may vary from person to person, include blood pressure regulation, strengthened immune system, reduced stress and anxiety, reconnection with nature, and a spiritual experience.

The workshop that I propose takes place **once a month in the mornings, from 9.00 am to 13.00**. It involves a 5-step immersion, each of which is referred to as an “invitation”, before a final closing ceremony in which observations will be shared. The forest that it will take place in is the amazing Forêt de Soignes (Sonian Forest) in Brussels. 

Get ready to work on your attention, patience, and awareness as you bathe in the light and shades of the forest, unique aromas, and enjoy the music of rustling leaves, birds, and more! I look forward to taking you on this unique and unforgettable journey. Contact me now and join this replenishing Shinrin Yoku workshop!

 Forêt de Soignes (the exact meeting point will be communicated after the booking)

Join a unique Shinrin Yoku workshop and experience the forest like never before on an introspective forest bathing experience in which you will learn to connect with your senses and surroundings from a place of full awareness, and all in the gorgeous Forêt de Soignes (Sonian Forest) in Brussels.

Join me on this amazing **day-long hike in the Foret de Soignes** and discover a different side of Brussels!

Both if you are from the city or in Brussels for a few days, this 5-6 hour walk across the Foret de Soignes is an experience not to be missed. Located on the southeast edge of Brussels, this **4,500-hectare forest is a favorite among locals and visitors alike.**

Majestic beeches, ponds lost in the morning mist, trails that will make you feel like if you were in a fairy-tale… the forest is a real delight!

We will meet at the **Hermann Debroux Metro Station** (8 stops from Montgomery), from where we will start our walk. **The hike will take between 5 and 6 hours.** Halfway through, we will arrive to the magnificent **Parc de Tervuren** and its wonderful **Arboretum**. If you are interested, we can even visit the **Royal Museum for Central Africa**, located in the park, which has just been renovated.

**The hike is open to everyone**, regardless of age or fitness level. If there are **children** in the group or if you don’t feel like doing a day-long hike, I can also make the itinerary shorter. And if you are bringing the baby along, I can choose paths that are accessible for strollers. There is also the option of taking the tram from the Parc de Tervuren back to our starting point at the Hermann Debroux Metro Station.

**This tour can be done year round, although the Spring is the best period**. Please remember to bring an extra layer during the winter, rain protection and trekking shoes (preferably waterproof) are also required. **And don´t forget your picnic lunch!**
