Nature and Forest Therapy Ballarat Botanical Gardens

Join Certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide Amanda for this two-hour guided session while exploring the calming benefits of Forest Therapy in the beautiful Ballarat Botanical Gardens. This session will help you connect with nature through sensory exploration and guided activities designed to reduce stress and enhance wellbeing. As you wander through the shaded canopies of the garden discover the therapeutic benefits of Shinrin-yoku or Forest Bathing. Supported by scientific research, this immersive experience invited you to slow down, embrace the present moment and rejuvenate your mind and body. Conclude the session with a Japanese inspired tea-sharing ceremony. This session is a fundraiser for the International Nature and Forest Therapy Alliance (INFTA), a not-for-profit association incorporated in Victoria dedicated to establishing Forest Therapy as an evidence-based, internationally recognised public health and preventable health practice.
