Virtual Forest Bathing
Unlike the in-person Forest Bathing offerings in a designated forested location, these online meetings invite you to experience forest bathing with a Certified Forest Bathing Guide from a safe and familiar outdoor space near you (it can even be your backyard/balcony) or from the comfort of your home.
Your guide will be on a trail or at a green space in various districts in Hong Kong and you’ll be able to experience Hong Kong's natural beauty through your screen. You will be invited to tune into your senses, to slow down, and to give your attention to the environment.
These sessions are facilitated virtual circles to cultivate a deeper connection with nature and each other; providing accessibility to this well-being practice.
Two Styles to Try
1. Remote Forest bathing
In remote forest bathing, you can pick your own location such as a familiar forest, or a park near you that has green spaces, and cell phone reception. Then, you can tune into the prompts and follow along on your own personal outdoor experience.
2. Virtual Forest Bathing
In virtual forest bathing, you will zoom from your home/balcony, or backyard with a PC or phone and experience the beauty of nature through the guide’s camera through live streaming. This is for those who may not have access to the outdoors due to different personal circumstances.
"Carmen is an understanding guide. I felt very close to nature and all the little creatures. After the session, I went back to work, and even my students noticed that I am more refreshed."
