Forrest Bathing
🌿 - at Kenzell Farm
Slow down. Breathe deep. Reconnect with nature.
✨ What is Forest Bathing?
Forest Bathing, or Shinrin-yoku, is the Japanese practice of immersing yourself in the natural world through your senses. Developed in Japan in the 1980s as a wellness practice to reduce stress and enhance wellbeing, it's now embraced globally as a calming, restorative experience — and it’s available right here at Kenzell Farm.
Unplug from the world. Reconnect with the wild.
🌲 Why Forest Bathe with Us?
Nestled on the western edge of the Blue Mountains in regional NSW, Kenzell Farm offers a private, peaceful forest setting with winding creeks, dappled light, and birdsong in every season. Our guided two-hour Forest Bathing sessions invite you to slow down and gently explore with all your senses — no hiking experience or special equipment required.
You’ll be guided through a series of sensory invitations designed to help you connect with your surroundings:
🌀 Listening to the wind through the trees
🖐 Noticing textures beneath your fingertips
👃 Breathing in the earthy scent of leaf litter
☕ Finishing with a warm cup of herbal tea under the canopy
