London Forest Bathing and Mindfulness Experience

Step into a secret slice of nature hidden within the southeast corner of London, an area known for its rich history. This isn’t your typical tour; it’s a chance to truly slow down and immerse oneself in the beauty of nature while learning new skills. Explore an intimate woodland that is part of the Great North Wood, where the unique light, textures, and shapes of nature come alive. Experience London’s natural charm up close, at a leisurely pace. Under the guidance of an experienced instructor, discover special ways to connect with and appreciate nature, utilizing mirrors and frames to enhance observation. This journey serves as a perfect antidote to the hustle and bustle of city life. Recharge in an urban oasis just 45 minutes from central London, and connect with like-minded individuals during this one-of-a-kind experience. Afterwards, enjoy local cafes and visit the beautiful Crystal Palace Park, complete with its famous dinosaur statues. This is hidden London at its finest.
