Many people are familiar with the benefits of being in nature, but forest therapy goes a step further than a simple walk in the woods.
Forest bathing is a practice or process of therapeutic relaxation where one spends time in a forest or natural atmosphere.
"Our body, our mind, our spirit, kind of recalibrates back to our natural state of being, which is peace and equanimity." Simmi Latulippe participated in the practice, and says forest bathing helped her reset and reconnect to the land. "Many of my patients tell me they like nature and go out into it often, but I tell them, 'This is a little different, this is a little more,'" she said.
"I’ve had groups hire me to do this before a longer leadership program, and it helps coagulate the team, and then when they go into challenging conversations. It works like a charm because they are relaxed." "I think giving space for that in workspaces gives time for creativity and tie for creativity and rest comes new ideas and innovations and insights."
