TAKAYA Sylvothérapie

Lucas Bessy, forest therapy guide, is inviting you for a forest bath in the valleys of the Pays des Ecrins.

With Japanese origins, Forest bathing (Shinrin-Yoku) takes place over a short distance, less than a kilometer for about 3 hours on easy and flat terrains. In a group up to 20 people, the walk will unfold through sensory invitations (5 senses) given by the guide, in order to let participants interact with the natural habitat.

Some invitations examples: laying down in the grass and gazing at the movement of clouds in the sky, listening to the forest sounds, or exploring the environment with the sense of smell. The session is always ending up with a progressive trip back to the meeting point including an incorporation time of the experience lived.

By letting go of the mind to our feelings, the forest bath allows little by little a connection to what is essential, to what is present. Therefore, the guide’s role is to be a link between Nature and the participants.

Forest bathing can be experienced during the day or at night, under sunshine, moonshine, snow and rain!
