Let's welcome the warm weather and colours of spring!

Experience the calming benefits of Forest Therapy in the beautiful Geelong Botanic Gardens. Join certified Forest Therapy guides for a two-hour immersive journey through nature, using sensory exploration and guided activities to slow down, reduce stress and enhance wellbeing.

Discover the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku (‘Forest Bathing’) as you meander at a gentle pace through lush ferns, shaded canopies, trees and open lawns. There is time to pause, listen, reflect and connect with nature through all the senses. The experience concludes with a tea-sharing ceremony inspired by Japanese tradition.

Ideal for anyone interested in Forest Therapy, including those considering it as a career pathway or professionals supporting the health and wellbeing of others.

Located on Wadawurrung Country, this unique experience offers an opportunity to unwind, recharge and deepen your connection with nature.
