Equinox Forest Therapy
Nature Contemplations and Forest Walks
IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE
Rediscover the forest with your senses
About Forest Bathing
Forest Bathing is a guided walk in the forest that invites people to observe nature through their five senses. As a guide for Equinoxe sylvothérapie ("silva" = wood or forest), I offer these contemplative walks that invite you to discover the forest through your sense of sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell.
Inspired by the Japanese practice of "Shinrin Yoku" or "Forest Bath," these walks are an opportunity to admire the colours, observe the textures, and become aware of the different smells and sounds that inhabit the forest.
It is not a sporty hike but rather an immersive experience that encourages the observation of the present moment. Thanks to the soothing effect of the trees, these Forest Therapy walks have been shown to positively impact the immune system and mood.

Connect to nature, live the moment
Forest Bathing Sessions
Equinoxe Forest Therapy leads forest bathing sessions on trails in Montreal, notably in Angrignon Park and around the northern edge of Lac du Coeur in Saint-Adolphe-d'Howard, which is 1h15 from Montreal.
​
The walks are 2 to 3 hours long, and include refreshments for small groups of 5 to 12 participants.
