Shinrin Yoku was formalized in the early 1980s in Japan at a time when employees of Japanese companies were worn out by work (stress, burnout). The government then encouraged its population to enjoy the forest daily, which provides many benefits. This practice, which offers a precise and very diverse method of connection, is very popular in Japan
Duration from 1h30 to 3h00 depending on the activities and the number of people.
2 Bivouac hikes: I suggest you discover the region in a different way with a night under the stars when the weather permits. The environment around Dompnac is free of light pollution, which allows you to enjoy starry skies in the mountains or by the river (from 12 to 24 hours approximately depending on the chosen environment).
The proposed activities promote nature and the surrounding biodiversity. In addition, forest bathing allows participants to be more sensitive and attentive to the preservation of nature.
Discover forest bathing, nature-based activities either in the forest, on the riverbank, or on a high point
I have three passions: nature since I was little, travel and self-knowledge.
I worked for around twenty years with local authorities and social housing providers as a project coordinator for housing development and renovation projects to improve residents' daily lives. I then specialized in sustainable development for a large housing company.
Then I decided, after a long inner journey, to settle in an isolated and protected rural area.
I trained as a forest bathing guide in 2021 and as a forest therapy practitioner in 2022 with the organization "Forest Therapy Hub." This allowed me to acquire a method of well-being and connection to nature to highlight the interactions between the individual, society, and the environment. I offer during nature connection activities, a practice that I have always experienced.
