At Renew & Nourish we work hard to make sure everyone who joins a session feels safe and supported. We cultivate the following basic group expectations of every experience; - Connectedness: we support compassionate social interaction. There's no pressure to share anything with the group when invited, but the group does support you to do so. - Hope & Optimism: during our session, nature around you is the therapist and your guide merely opens the doorway. We encourage you to let nature support you in your needs. - Identity: Everyone has a voice and when sharing, please be mindful of time and use of appropriate language. We avoid stigmatising or terms that may cause offence. - Empowerment: We understand that life can affect us all differently and if a challenge arises, we take personal responsibility to let the guide know. Some people can find the peace that a forest bathing session brings, can bring up an emotional reaction. If there is a need in the group for support, we share this, being mindful of confidentiality. It is important to remember that forest bathing is not counselling and the guide is not a trained physiologist. Nature is the therapist and the guide just opens the door. Why creating a safe & brave space is important When people share a forest bathing experience, we want everyone to feel that they are in a safe space where they can be their authentic selves.
