Date: Monday 3rd November
Time: 7pm
Location: Lees Hall Golf Club, Hemsworth Road, Sheffield S8 8LL
Price: Free
Join Forest Bathing practitioners Caroline Cook and Helen Todd for an engaging session
exploring nature connection and its links to environmental behaviour.
We’ll start with an introduction to forest bathing (the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku) and
the well-documented benefits that spending mindful time in nature can have on our mental
health and wellbeing. You’ll get a little taste of this through a short sensory activity using
natural items gathered from local woodlands. We’ll then look at research exploring the link
between how deeply we connect with nature and our attitudes and behaviours on
environmental issues.
We’ll finish with plenty of discussion time to share thoughts on what this means for us and
our community. There’ll be time for questions and ideas about where we go from here.
Whether you’re new to nature connection or already spend lots of time outdoors, this session
offers fresh insights into how our relationship with the natural world might benefit both
ourselves and the planet.
