OVERVIEW

Indulge in a private Forest Bathing experience in the enchanting woodlands of Lunigiana. Led by a certified guide, this journey goes beyond a simple walk, inviting you to "live the forest" through the ancient Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku. Immerse yourself in the healing embrace of the forest, awaken your senses, and cultivate a deep connection with nature.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Guided by our expert, you’ll leave the charming hamlet of Mochignano on a short and gentle walk into the woodland where you'll participate in a series of mindful activities designed to foster a profound connection with the natural world. Through moments of gentle movement, meditation, and sensory awareness, you'll cultivate a deep sense of peace and well-being.

Experience the nourishing presence of nature. Feel the energy of the trees, breathe in the invigorating forest air, and discover a renewed sense of joy and gratitude. Our experienced guide will share insights into the therapeutic benefits of forest bathing, helping you cultivate a deeper appreciation for the natural world and empowering you with practices to bring these benefits into your daily life.

Our journey will take us to the enchanting "Stretti di Mochignano," a series of small crystal-clear pools and waterfalls nestled amongst the moss covered trees. Admire the ruins of an ancient bridge and mill, remnants of a bygone era. If the weather permits, enjoy an invigorating dip in the cool waters of the pools.

After our forest immersion, we'll gather for a tranquil tea ceremony. Savor a warm cup of herbal tea brewed in our wood-fired Ghillie Kettle, accompanied by a selection of wholesome vegan snacks. Relax and reflect on your forest bathing experience, enjoying the peaceful ambiance of the forest.

This exclusive experience is perfect for couples or small groups of 2 to 10 people. You and your party will have the undivided attention of your guide, ensuring a personalised journey.
