deep forest bathing (2022.8.27)

[Sharing time in the forest with many people]

precious forest time with all

This time, we took everyone participating in the retreat "Creating a 'life circulation' with Yakushima" to a deep forest bathing program.

It was unknown whether 20 people could go into the forest and put together a good program, but we prepared with images such as returning to the earth, creating space, and trusting our senses.

That said, my role is simply to help create a safe and secure space in the forest, open the door, and invite people on their journey.

As a result, each of us spends time with the nature of Yakushima, and through that,

It seems that the experience helped them to look at themselves, and I was very happy to receive various comments.

"It was the first time in a long time that I had the opportunity to experience a connection with the earth with my whole body."

"I'm currently reassessing my relationship with nature (since recently moving here from Tokyo), and I think I've found a way to interact with it in a more comfortable way."

"When you're in a city, it's easy to lose sight of the fact that you're part of nature, so this was a great opportunity."

I feel like I have been reminded once again of the significance of the program being carried out in the forests of Yakushima.

Thank you for your participation!
