Waldbaden für Erwachsene im Forstbotanischen Garten

Need a break from your daily routine? Then come join us in the forest.
Our certified forest bathing instructor—Mindfulness in Nature—will guide you through the diverse forest of the Forest Botanical Garden in Cologne. You’ll be guided through exercises that help you open your senses and become more aware of your breath and body. As we engage in these activities together, we’ll tap into our creativity, and new perspectives will emerge.
The practice of forest bathing, popular in Japan—a “green shower”—slows you down and promotes your physical and mental well-being. Peace sets in as you arrive in the here and now. There is nothing to achieve, nothing you have to do, nothing you should do—it is time for you.
In our encounter with nature and in our interactions, we are mindful. We listen to one another, linger in moments of silence, and are open to what nature reveals to us. This course is open to all adults, whether beginners or experienced forest bathers. The course is for anyone who wishes to take regular time out and recharge their energy.
