'Just Being' Forest Bathing (Women) - Fridays in Torbay

'Just Being' Forest Bathing A time for you. A time for calming peaceful presence - here, now. 'Just Being' Forest Bathing is for women. A special time to bring your inner and outer worlds together - growing your sense of peace, stillness, and awareness as we connect to Life in a sensory and facilitated way. We warm up with heart coherence meditative breathwork, move into slow forest bathing, qi gong if inspired, and finish with refreshments and caring reflection. Forest Bathing will help us to: • Learn to relax, with the capacity to change the stress loops in our body systems • Boost our immune system – nature is a powerful physician • Develop greater mental clarity • Improve our creativity • Grow our presence with self and others • Nurture meaningful relationships with ourselves, nature, and each other A regular weekly practice of forest bathing will produce and maintain health benefits for at least a week and in some cases up to a month. 'Just Being' Forest Bathing for Women will be offered weekly on Friday mornings from 10am to 12pm. We have a maximum of 10 people in each circle for better connection to each other and the forest. • Therapeutic group journeys are grounded in strengths and shared wisdom that many women experience as nourishing and beneficial. (not crisis support) About Your Facilitator: Kristi Shaw Hi, I’m Kristi. I believe that when we slow down and truly 'be with' the forest, space opens up within us for insights, joyful wonder, and a peaceful smiling heart - which are so important in these changing times. My approach to Forest Bathing is deeply informed by my background as a Narrative Therapist, Appreciative Inquiry Facilitator and MasterKeys™ Transformation Coach. I don’t just lead a walk; I facilitate a sensory-guided experience designed to help you notice the creative life force we share with the natural world. With a foot in both the therapeutic and the natural worlds—as a Reiki Master and Naturalist Guide—I weave together mindfulness, shared reflection, and gentle group practices. My goal is to help you move from the 'doing' of modern life into the beautiful state of 'just being' and connection.
