Hello and welcome! I’m Duncan and I’ll be your nature and forest therapy guide for this program. I want to thank for taking part and for taking the time to experience the natural world. This is the first 45 minute session of 5 that you are invited to listen to. Over the course of the next 5 weeks, I will be guiding you towards experiencing nature through the traditional 5 senses, sight, touch, smell, taste and hearing. By the end of our time, you will be familiarized in a practice rooted in Japan called, shinrin-yoku which literally translates as “Forest Bathing" or “taking in the atmosphere of the forest”.
