If you sometimes feel like you don’t have time to catch your breath amid the hustle and bustle of college life, forest bathing is just the thing for you: During forest bathing (Japanese: Shinrin Yoku), you immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the forest with all your senses and gradually leave the stresses of daily life behind. Through guided mindfulness and sensory exercises, you’ll reconnect with the present moment and feel how nature calms your nervous system and gives you new energy for daily life. You’ll leave the workshop not only more relaxed but also more deeply connected to yourself.

We’ll meet at the entrance to the Unisport grounds at Nachtigallenweg 86; 53127 Bonn, and from there we’ll head into the forest together. For forest bathing, you should wear sturdy shoes and dress appropriately for the weather according to the forecast. Remember: it’s often a bit colder in the forest. That’s why the tried-and-true layered look is always a good idea, especially for periods when we’re doing exercises and staying in one place for longer.
