The concept of forest bathing grew out of a practice in Japan called Shinrin-yoku that spread to China and Korea and now to the United States. It is about swimming in the living being of the forest: drinking in the smells, feeling the breeze on your skin, hearing it move through the trees, soaking up the warm healing rays of the sun, touching the earth with awareness. The Native American people call this being indigenous to a sense of place. Because this practice is about slowing down, focusing on the abundant life in and around you, it is immensely healing. You return from this experience refreshed, calmer, more at peace on the inside. Your body, mind, spirit and heart have had an opportunity to feel a deep sense of connection with yourself and with all of life. Cape Cod gives you a very special opportunity to deepen your relationship with Nature because of the unique environment provided by marsh, creek, forest, dunes and beach.
