Wednesday Wanders Forest Bathing Walk
Come walk gently with me. Let nature hold you, slow you, and bring you home to yourself.
In 2026, we gather once a month under open skies and among the trees to rest, reconnect, and return to what matters. These gentle Forest Bathing walks invite you to unwind your nervous system, quiet the mind, and soften into the healing rhythm of the land.
This is your sacred ‘you’ time — to be still, breathe deeply, and let yourself be gently restored.
What is Forest Bathing?
Rooted in the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku, Forest Bathing is the mindful art of slowing down and connecting with nature through your senses.
It’s not a hike, not a fitness walk, no bathers needed — it’s a walking sensory immersion. A practice of presence. A way of listening to the land and to your own inner world. Nature becomes the guide. You simply come as you are.
You’re warmly invited to join the Wednesday Wanders Community
- once a month
- 7:00am – 8:30am
- Traralgon – Railway Conservation Reserve (Hickox Street Car Park)
- please book your free session (so that I may contact you if weather is unsafe to continue)
These walks are my heartfelt gift to the community — free, accessible, and open to all adults seeking space to breathe, reflect, and restore.
There’s no need to commit — simply come when your heart calls you.
What to Expect on the Walk:
- mindfully guided walk on a flat gravel path, perfect for all fitness and mobility levels
- sensory invitations to help you awaken your awareness and connect more deeply with the natural world
- a short, nature-based meditation (gentle and beginner-friendly)
- time for shared tea and gentle reflections after the walk
- a warm, inclusive and brave space held with deep care and respect
