Open up your senses and step out of the rush — into the green\, nourishing world of the forest.*\n\nForest Bathing (*Skogsbad* in Swedish) is a practice of immersing yourself in the atmosphere of nature. Through a series of gentle invitations\, you let the forest do what it does best: bring you back to the present moment.\n\nLaurence brings a unique perspective to this experience. As a certified nature and forest therapy guide *AND* a biologist\, she opens up a world of microorganisms and molecules that are quietly\, constantly working for our wellbeing — and invites you to feel that\, not just understand it.\n\n***\n\n**OBS! This is a ticketed event.** Colours of Being is a non-profit. We use the ticket income to cover material costs\, food\, property rent\, and the time put into making this happen.\n\n**SIGN UP HERE:** [Forest Bathing with Laurence Nachin ](https://peach.nu/c/thecoloursofbeing?page=0&embed=)\n\n***\n\n#### WHAT TO EXPECT\n\nWe'll meet at the starting point\, walk a short distance together\, and then Laurence will introduce the practice — what it is\, why it works\, and what your time together will look like.\n\nFrom there\, the experience unfolds through a series of open *invitations*. You're never told how to do something — you're simply invited to explore with your senses: what do you see\, hear\, smell\, feel?\nEstablish a connection with the world around you. Let yourself be embraced by nature and notice your senses engage differently.\nThroughout the experience\, individual wandering weaves together with shared moments of reflection in circle.\n\nYou close with a *tea ceremony* — a moment to gather\, share what arose\, and let the experience land. This is also an opportunity to eat a sandwich or snack you can bring for yourself as we are aware that the experience is ending close to dinner time.\n\n**Duration: approximately 2 hours\, from 5.30 pm - 7.30 pm**\n\n#### WHY FOREST BATHING?\n\nThe benefits are well-documented:\n\n* Cortisol (stress hormone) levels drop measurably\n* Trees release phytoncides — airborne molecules that boost our immune system\n* Soil bacteria have been linked to improved mood\n* Time in nature increases our capacity for social connection\n\nIt's biology.\n\n#### ABOUT LAURENCE\n\nBiologist\, certified nature and forest therapy guide\, and founder of Sense in Nature\, Laurence Nachin facilitates workshops and guides outdoor experiences that help people rediscover their connection to the natural world and weave nature back into daily life — at home and at work.\nShe brings a unique combination to this: a PhD in cell biology and microbiology\, and a sensory\, embodied approach to being in the living world. Born in France and based in Sweden for over twenty years\, she thinks of herself\, first and foremost\, as an Earthling.\n\n#### PRACTICAL INFO\n\nYou’ll meet at the entrance of [Änggårdsbergen ](https://maps.app.goo.gl/AQ7DZvDDA76XGr1A7?g_st=it)(click on the name for the maps pin).
