“I was slightly concerned about whether people would get bored or expect something new every month, but seasonality sorts it out. The seasons make it new and exciting every time. People get what they need, and the forest gives them what they need. You can't be precious about it, just lead people, and let the forest do the therapy.”
Cath and Moose are back, and they're bringing a breath of fresh air with them. In this episode of Treespeed, they dive into the soothing practice of forest bathing, catching up on their latest adventures and sharing the joy of reconnecting with nature. They discuss the benefits of forest bathing for kids, including fun activities like digging for 'dinosaurs', and tackle the rising issue of eco-anxiety among the younger generation.
With their new community group in the Cairngorms, they’re making forest bathing accessible to all, thanks to Green Health Prescriptions. The duo also explores the importance of dropping egos as guides, ensuring that everyone can experience nature in their own unique way. Tune in to hear about their plans for remote sessions and ongoing programs across different locations.
