Forest bathing, or shinrin-yoku, originated in Japan and serves as a mechanism for enhancing mental health and overall well-being. This structured approach to engaging with nature offers a departure from conventional outdoor activities. Through simple yet intentional “invitations,” participants are guided to immerse themselves in the present moment, fostering a newfound appreciation for the natural world.
