Forest Bathing is an ancient Japanese practice and a process of relaxation, whilst immersing yourself amongst the trees.

‘Forest Bathing is best described as a slow, relaxing sensory journey designed to calm the body and mind.  The physical and mental health benefits of Forest Bathing have been scientifically proven. Benefits include reduced stress levels, stronger immune system response, and a stabilised cortisol cycle.’   The Forest Bathing Institute.

On Friday 27 October 2023, the Forest Bathing Institute – sponsored by William Morris At Home – will lead a day of Forest Bathing walks in the grounds of the William Morris Gallery. The walks are a unique opportunity to experience the therapeutic benefits of Forest Bathing in the Gallery’s surroundings of Waltham Forest, the place where Morris spent his formative years.

There are two sessions during the day, one for families with children and a second for adults only. The event will also include face painting inspired by William Morris with professional face and body painters, NyGlorious Face Arts.

A Community Garden Open Day event for Radical Landscapes.
