Free audio guided forest bathing
Click on the link on the right to access a free guided audio forest bathing session I recorded for the Tree Council UK’s campaign ‘Spring in your Step’.
You can download the track and take it with you anytime when out in nature. You will be guided through the practice of forest bathing at your own pace and time. I’d love to know what you think of it, so feel free to get in touch with any feedback by emailing forestbathingliverpool@gmail.com
