One of the highlights of our retreat is **Shinrin-Yoku**, or forest bathing. This Japanese practice involves immersing yourself in the sights, sounds, and scents of the forest. Guided sessions help you slow down, reduce stress, and restore harmony by engaging all your senses in the therapeutic embrace of the woods.
