In the field of Långängen-Elfviks nature reserve where humans have been living since the iron age I will introduce the Japanese practice Shinrin-Yoku or Forest Bathing. Slowly we will enter the forest, leaving our civilised life to experience nature. Among green mosses, tall old spruces and blueberry bushes I will guide you to awake your senses, the gateway on your journey in close contact with nature. A crow may announce our time and place or the earthy smell of the forest floor lead to secret memories of childhood. I will offer a sequence of joyful and sensory invitations, carefully crafted for each walk for our mind and body to stay in the presence embraced by the forest. Maybe being in a mood closer to the heart of our ancient human spirit, living and surviving together within nature. We will walk slowly and quietly noticing and playing with the more than human world and occasionally gather to share and, weaving our experiences together with the stories of the forest. The walk will culminate in a tea-cermony in the forest with tea brewed from locally foraged plants. The walk is suitable for all ages and fitness.
