Shinrin-Yoku Walk Japanese Therapy

North Sydney Community Centre proudly supports this event, SHINRIN-YOKU WALK ~Japanese Forest Therapy~

"Shinrin" means Forest, "Yoku" means Bathing. Shinrin-yoku is the practice of walking slowly through the woods, in no hurry, for a morning, an afternoon or a day. You bathe in the environment of the forest, using all your senses to experience nature upclose. It is a simple natural therapy which has been done for many years.

With Shinrin-Yoku, trees provides fresh oxygen so you can take a deeper breath and the green colours of the leaves sooth your eyes, sounds of birds and water from creek calm the noise in your head and you feel the breeze on your skin.

In a very short time you enter a relaxed state of mind!

Our first walk begins at Smoothey Park - Wollstonecraft. Participants will meet with their guide, Mayu, on site at a pre-arranged location.

Cost: $89.00
No concession

**Don’t forget your COVID safety precautions while walking: wear a mask indoors, and observe social distancing during the walk. It’s a good idea to bring your own hand sanitiser too.
