Forest bathing in Umbria, or Shinrin-yoku as it is called in Japanese, consists of a practice that aims to connect human beings with nature through an immersion in the forest. Umbria is one of the most suitable Italian regions for this type of activity due to the presence of numerous green and wooded areas.
This technique is based on the evidence that nature has a beneficial influence on human beings. In fact, the practice takes place slowly and with various phases, always to be carried out within the forest, with alternation between meditation and dialogue, with the aim of stimulating our perceptions through listening to nature using all the senses. The sounds of nature, the scent of the trees, touching and ‘tasting’ the plants, so as to create a sense of inner peace and well-being, all always coordinated with the view of the natural environments.
Sometimes these situations are very distant from man’s daily life and for this reason it is not always easily accepted.
During the forest bathing experience in Umbria, participants are accompanied by a specialized guide on a walking route through the forest. It is an activity suitable for all people, regardless of age, physical fitness and previous experience. The only requirement is the ability to move freely on unpaved terrain.
Umbria is an ideal place for forest bathing because it offers a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere, with a great variety of plants and animals, a breathtaking landscape and unique views. Furthermore, in the Valnerina area, we are on the border with the Sibillini Mountains National Park which has identified all the requirements for the correct carrying out of forest bathing activities in absolute safety. We will always find ourselves in contact with nature, an opportunity to connect with uncontaminated nature.
In summary, forest bathing in Umbria is a beneficial experience for mental and physical health, a practice that rediscovers the pleasure and well-being of being in nature, a meditation in contact with the plant and animal world, a sensorial journey that It invites us to slow down and abandon everyday worries.
