Forest Therapy & Self-Compassion

About this event

Why not step away from daily life and spend some healing time gently accepting yourself as you are? Set against the backdrop of Sasaguri's Forest Therapy Road (Meoto Sugi Course), surrounded by rich nature, and the historic Kirihataji Temple, this event is a one-day special workshop to relax your mind and body. In the morning, enjoy an approximately 120-minute refreshing walk with Forest Therapy, whose effects are scientifically proven. Ease your daily stress and fatigue by listening to the heartbeat of the quiet forest and opening your five senses. For lunch, move to Kirihataji Temple to eat a bento box as a 'mindful eating' meditation, savoring each bite. In the afternoon, experience temple yoga to harmonize your mind and body in the temple's main hall filled with dignified serenity. In addition, spend a warm time cherishing yourself just as you are through journaling (writing meditation) to face your own heart and 'Loving Kindness to Yourself' exercises. Please take this opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and give yourself the gift of rewarding time.
