Beneath the Canopy e-booklets
Forest Bathing Wicklow teamed up with Danú Forest Bathing. Together we strive to connect people to nature in an easy and accessible way. Under the name 'Beneath the Canopy' we've created seasonal e-booklets that you can use as DIY Forest Bathing Guide and an inspiring podcast.
Forest bathing, also known as shinrin-yoku in Japanese, is more than just a leisurely stroll through the woods. It’s an mindful practice that invites you to immerse yourself in nature using all your senses. Contrary to what the name suggests, you don’t have to go into water to forest bathe. Instead, you focus on what you can see, hear, smell, touch and taste.

During the pandemic she re-trained as a forest bathing guide to share the profound benefits she found in nature with others.
