WHAT IS AYURVEDIC FOREST THERAPY?
Ayurvedic Forest is a 3 day therapeutic immersion in the forest along with therapeutic oil treatments.
It seeks to boost our immune system, develop our inner feeling of homebase connected with intrinsic feelings of trust, safety and shelter that we are reminded of when we go into the forest.
The benefits of forest bathing have been know for years and include reduction in blood pressure and boosting the immune system. We use ayurvedic oil techniques, yoga in the forest, collecting herbs from the forest and group communication along with communication with the forest to enhance the forest bathing experience.
The forest is rich in complex substances including pheromones, we can tap into this system and benefit from it.
Forest therapy can be used for example to help us:
boost our immune system
develop a deeper connection to the natural kingdom
develop greater communication skills with our inner selves, others and nature
boost our metabolism
As well as seeking the health benefits gained from being in the forest in a special way, an additional goal of forest is a deeper connection with ourselves, others and the natural kingdom.
The Workshops
The workshops are held on 3 days during the summer. Through meeting together as a beautiful group we can develop how we interrelate with the world, as we come closer to feelings of trust, safety and shelter which are symbolised in the forest. Above all it is great fun too!
Depending on the weather the morning sessions will be theory based and the afternoon practical, during which you will both receive and give the oil treatments within the group (previous massage experience or knowledge is not essential). A single potentized herbal oil is used throughout the course and the treatment itself is done with a very light mindful touch; the face, arms, legs and chest are sensitively touched with herbal oil as opposed to being massaged. Gifts from the forest are gathered, we then make tinctures and foods together which we then share.
There is no age limitations set for Forest.
