Experiences
Restorative experiences in nature for modern life.
The signature experience
A 2–3 hour guided forest bathing experience designed to help you slow down, reset and feel more like yourself again.
We move slowly through woodland with a series of simple sensory invitations, moments of stillness and guided deep rest.
There is nowhere to get to and nothing you need to achieve.
We close with tea, leaving space to notice what has shifted.

Rooted in research
The Wild Pause draws on the established Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku and research showing that time in nature can support lower stress, restored attention and psychological wellbeing.

“I felt very at ease, and it was clear Linda cared about every individual attending. The guided practices were deeply relaxing, and I left feeling content and restored for several days.”Elizabeth · Wild Pause participant
“I felt fully immersed in the beautiful woodlands and was able to just let go and be there in the moment. I usually get distracted very easily, but for the most part, I managed to fully concentrate on the exercises, which was unusual. I left feeling relaxed and re-energised.”Lina Viluma · Architect

Frequently asked questions.
Is actual bathing in water involved?
No water or swimming is involved. Shinrin-yoku translates from Japanese as forest bathing: immersing ourselves in the woodland atmosphere through our senses.
I can only walk slowly or for short distances. Will the session be suitable for me?
We tend to cover 1–2 kilometres at a slow pace, with opportunities to stop and sit. If you would like to chat before booking or attending, get in touch with Linda and we can discuss.
Is forest bathing suitable for children?
Yes, but these public experiences are for adults aged 18 and over only.
Can I bring my dog?
Sorry, no dogs.
Do sessions go ahead rain or shine?
We proceed in the rain, spending much of the session beneath the canopy of trees. We do not enter the woods if there is a chance of lightning or high winds.
What do I need to bring?
Please bring a picnic mat or something similar to sit or lie on, and a rucksack for anything else you might want, such as water, snacks and spare layers. You’ll receive a reminder by email before the session.
What should I wear in the warmer months?
It can feel cooler as we slow down beneath the trees. Dress in layers, even in warm weather, and wear long sleeves and trousers to help prevent stings and scratches. Enclosed shoes are essential; flip-flops and sandals are not suitable. Consider bringing waterproofs too.
