Reset in Nature: Outdoor Relaxation & Wellness Morning in Yoyogi Park Tokyo

Slow down, reconnect with your senses, and learn practical relaxation techniques surrounded by nature in central Tokyo. Step away from the pace of Tokyo for a morning and spend three hours reconnecting with your body, senses, and surroundings. Reset in Nature is a small-group outdoor wellness experience held in Yoyogi Park and led primarily in English. Through gentle, practical activities, participants will explore ways to slow down, notice physical sensations, and experience relaxation techniques that can also be used in everyday life. No previous experience with mindfulness or relaxation exercises is required. What we’ll do The morning will include: • A relaxed icebreaker to get to know the group • Sensory grounding exercises using the five senses • Gentle awareness and relaxation activities • Jacobson’s Progressive Muscle Relaxation (JPMR) — the main guided practice of the session • Personal reflection • A short introduction to Supra Mentor and its support services The activities are designed to be approachable and comfortable. This is a wellness and educational experience rather than medical treatment or psychotherapy. Highlight: JPMR A central part of the session will be Jacobson’s Progressive Muscle Relaxation (JPMR). Jesny will guide participants through the technique step by step, helping you notice the difference between muscular tension and relaxation. You’ll also receive a JPMR handout so you can continue practicing after the event. Participants who complete our short post-event feedback form will also receive a guided JPMR audio recorded by Jesny, making it easier to revisit the practice at home. Meet your facilitator Jesny James — Consultant Psyochologist Jesny will be the lead facilitator for the morning, guiding the wellness activities and JPMR session. She has years of experiences conducting JPMR in medical settings.
