Forest Bathing at Dawn and Dusk: Highland Quietlife's Dual Adventure
Wake up with a sunrise and the birds. Nature heals...sitting.
Imagine starting your day with the serene beauty of a sunrise in the Scottish Highlands, then ending it under a full moon by a campfire on Vancouver Island. In this episode of 'Treespeed', hosts Cath and Moose share their unique experiences from two different corners of the world. Cath takes you to the Cairngorms in Scotland, where the first light of day brings a chorus of birds and the occasional visit from some friendly Clydesdale horses.
Meanwhile, Moose sets the scene on Vancouver Island, reflecting on the calming presence of a full moon and the crackling warmth of a campfire. The episode is more than just a tale of two landscapes. It’s an invitation to slow down and embrace the simple joys of nature.
From the vibrant greens and blues that soothe the mind to the magical phytoncides released by trees, Cath and Moose explore how these natural elements can bring peace and clarity to our hectic lives. They also touch on the benefits of forest bathing, or Shinrin-yoku, a practice that immerses you in nature’s healing embrace. Listeners will find themselves drawn into the tranquil moments shared by the hosts, whether it’s Cath’s quiet reflection at dawn or Moose’s storytelling under the moonlight.
There’s even a humorous twist with the unexpected appearance of those polite Clydesdale horses! By the end of the episode, you might feel inspired to catch a sunrise yourself or join one of their guided sessions in the Cairngorms. This episode is perfect for anyone looking to find solace in nature, whether you're on a journey to sobriety, dealing with anxiety, or simply seeking a break from everyday stress.
Tune in to 'Treespeed' and let Cath and Moose guide you through a calming adventure that showcases the restorative power of nature.
