Get out of your head. Into the forest. Back into your balance.
Do you know that feeling when everyday life is permanently „too loud“? Too many tasks, too little air, too little real relaxation. Forest bathing is an invitation, consciously relieve your nervous system - not through performance, but through slowness, presence and nature.
We invite you, a whole weekend with us in the forest: guided, mindful, beneficial - and at the same time down-to-earth, without any esoteric pressure or pressure to perform.
Who is this forest bathing weekend for?
For you, if you ...
- you feel stressed, overloaded or „constantly tense inside“
- want to sleep better again or wind down
- want to take a real break that is not just a „distraction“
- Love nature - or want to rediscover it
- are looking for a safe, supportive environment after a stressful time (e.g. after illness, in challenging phases of life or as a companion for difficult issues such as oncological stress)
Important: We do not promise a cure. We create a framework in which regeneration becomes more likely - gentle, realistic and suitable for everyday use.
What is forest bathing?
Forest bathing (Japanese Shinrin-yoku) means: Consciously spend time in the forest - Slow, sensory-oriented, without target kilometers and without a „workout“.
It's not about hiking, it's not about sport and it's not about „higher, faster, further“. It's about:
- Sensory perception: See, hear, smell, feel
- Deceleration: Your speed becomes „suitable for the forest“
- Nervous system regulation: Out of alarm mode, into peace and quiet
- Mental relief: Less brooding, more presence
What can forest bathing do for your health?
Forest bathing has been investigated in many studies in the context of stress, well-being and regeneration. In serious terms, forest bathing can have a supportive effect with:
1) Stress & inner restlessness
Many people report after forest bathing:
- Less „internal noise“
- More peace and stability
- Better recovery after mental stress
2) Sleep & recovery
If your system can shut down during the day, sleep often becomes easier again. Forest bathing is not a sleep aid - but a Natural regeneration impulse.
3) Mood & mental clarity
The combination of nature, breathing, slowness and sensory focus often acts like a mental reset: less circling of thoughts, more clarity.
4) Physical relaxation
Less „constant tension“ often means
- Softer breathing
- more relaxed muscles
- calmer body perception
And yes: Some research also discusses effects on immune system markers. This is exciting - but not proof of therapeutic effects in specific diseases. That is why we deliberately remain committed to reality here.
Our approach: nature + mindfulness + information medicine (without promises of a cure)
As NLS Information Medicine GmbH we work with a view to Regulation, stress and resources. Forest bathing fits in with this approach because it often helps people to return to a state in which the body can regenerate better.
Optionally (depending on the group and setting), small impulses from the Frequency work / information medicine a - always with a clear disclaimer: not as a substitute for medicine, but as an accompanying change of perspective on regulation and self-awareness.
This is how the forest bathing weekend works (example structure)
Friday - Arrive & slow down
- Welcome, framework, safety, expectations
- First short forest bathing session: „Arrive with your senses“
- Quiet final round
Saturday - Deep regeneration
- Morning unit: Breath & body awareness in the forest
- Forest bathing „Slow Walk“ + quiet sitting time
- Optional: simple reflection exercises (without group pressure)
- Evening: gentle conclusion, integration
Sunday - Take away for everyday life
- Forest bathing: „Anchoring resources“
- Mini ritual: What do I take with me?
- Practical plan: Establish 10-20 minutes of forest bathing in everyday life
Important: The weekend is designed so that you can do not have to work. You can be quiet. You can talk. You can just be there.
What you should bring with you
- Weatherproof clothing (onion look), warm layer
- comfortable, non-slip shoes
- Seat pad / small towel
- Drinking bottle, small snack
- Tick protection if necessary
- Openness to slowness 😊
Safety & contraindications (please note)
Forest bathing is gentle, but not suitable for every situation. Please talk to your doctor in advance if you:
- have acute severe symptoms or a fever
- recently had serious cardiovascular events
- are at high risk of falling or are very unsafe off-road
- are in an acute mental health crisis
- are unsure what is currently good for you physically/mentally in the event of a serious illness (e.g. cancer)
We adapt the pace, route and intensity - but safety first.
Why a whole weekend?
Individual lessons are great - a weekend makes something else possible:
- you come deeper out of everyday mode
- Your body has time to „switch over“
- You take real routines with you that stay with you
- you experience nature not as a backdrop, but as a resource
Invitation: Spend 1 weekend forest bathing with us
If you feel it's time to come back to yourself - then come along.
