Shinrin-yoku team events 

Shinrin-yoku (Forest Bathing) is a great engaging activity for teams. It is a very natural way of teambuilding, with team members getting to know each other in an entirely new way, an in a non-competitive, relaxed and organic atmosphere.

"I had the great pleasure of being introduced to the Japanese practice of forest bathing by Kat. I didn’t know what to expect other than to be in the forest going for a walk. What I experienced was a pleasant surprise. We entered nature, explored it with our 5 + senses, and connected with the earth, it’s trees and the environment in an intuitive manner. Much of this was done in silence. Kat was a gentle, inviting and welcoming guide. I highly recommend this for people who are looking for a low key way to connect with themselves and their surroundings. It works well with small groups, teams, good friends and for a solo inquiry. I will do it again! I left feeling refreshed, energized, and relaxed. Highly recommended. Thank you."

"Going forest bathing with Kat was delicious. I never move slow, I never want to, but three hours in a forest with Kat slowed my pace down, naturally and in a way that felt good to me. It is a truly relaxing experience with a wonderful guide. afterwards I was in a great mood, re-energized and feeling more in tune with myself and my surroundings. Do I recommend anyone to join Kat? Yes, I certainly do. unless you don't like trees ;)"

"Very special experience, definitely a good way to step out of your busy life for a couple of hours."

When I was organizing a three-day event for my team now, it felt as a perfect way to start the even with, to re-connect with ourselves to begin with." "I was quite stressed out before we started and totally relaxed at the end. Very calming experience, the entire 1,5 hour. And the tea ceremony was simply beautiful for the eye too." "The energy we have cultivated there and brought back to the city was very precious for myself, and for the people around me."
