DISCOVER FOREST BATHING
Forest bathing is a practice of slowing down and connecting with nature through the senses. Inspired by the Japanese method of shinrin-yoku—introduced in the 1980s as a public health initiative—it offers a gentle yet powerful way to find calm.
​
LugnLed’s forest bathing sessions offer a series of optional invitations designed to deepen your connection with nature, yourself, and others.
​
​Research continues to affirm the many benefits of time in nature, including strengthened immunity, lower blood pressure, reduced stress, enhanced focus, and improved sleep.
Explore the science behind these benefits at
UCLA Health or The Association of Nature and Forest Therapy Guides and Programs.
