My Woodland Meditation sessions run in the Windsor Great Park, Berkshire with kind permission of the Crown Estate.

After a silent, gentle ramble I will connect you to the surrounding environment using all your senses. You will learn to embrace the full benefits of breath and meditation under the trees and within the woodland.


Will we hug a tree? YES! But with Upgrade Your Day I pride myself on approaching everything with fun, good humour and joy.  

Even if you have never done anything like this before, trust me, you will LOVE IT! Take a look at the testimonials all from first experiences of meditating under the trees. 

What is Woodland Meditation?

Woodland Meditation is based on the term Forest Bathing which emerged from Japan in the 1980s as a physiological and psychological exercise called Shinrin-yoku meaning 'taking in the forest atmosphere'. This was introduced as a way for people suffering with stress or burn-out to connect to nature and became a preventative health care and healing in Japanese medicine.

​Time spent bathing in nature will help you to unplug from your phone and technology, slow down, de-stress and connect to the natural world. It can make you more mindful and bring you into the present moment.

The Science!

During the 90's researchers studied Shinrin-yoku and proved that the physiological benefits proved that connecting to nature can help boost human health. It positively creates calming neuro-psychological effects through changes in the nervous system, reducing the stress hormone Cortisol and boosting the immune system. Every study conducted so far has demonstrated reductions in stress, anger, anxiety, depression and sleeplessness amongst the participants

What I do

During the session I will ramble gently, silently and connect you to your senses of sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch. I will guide you through various elements of Woodland Meditation, making sure you get the chance to embrace the full benefits of connecting to the surrounding nature using breathe and meditation. 

"It is quite possible to leave your house for a walk in

the early morning air and return a different person - 

​beguiled, enchanted"


- Mary Ellen Chase

For every workshop I host I plant a new tree in the UK with the National Trust & plant a new tree sapling into the world for every participant with
One Tree Planted on your
behalf.
