Nature Immersion with Bosque Somos
“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better”
“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better”
What is Forest Bathing, Shinrin Yoku and Nature and Forest Therapy? And what is the difference?
Shinrin yoku literally translate into "absorbing the forest atmosphere" or “Forest Bathing”. Nature and Forest Therapy is inspired by the practice of Shinrin Yoku, the Japanese practice of Forest Bathing, and refers to the experience facilitated by guides who have prepared professionally to create and contain a space for each participant in collaboration with the natural environment during a Walk.
Forest and Nature Therapy is a research-based framework for supporting healing and wellness through skilfully guided immersion in a forest or other natural environment.
"It's about taking the time to notice what we see, take a deep breath, feel the contact with the air, the textures of the leaves, listen to the wind in the trees, hear the birds," explains Amos Clifford, founder of Association of Nature and Forest Therapy (ANFT).
Nature and Forest Therapy establishes a reciprocal relationship with nature, nurtures connections between people and the land and promotes its conservation.

There´s no right or wrong way to do it and its great for all ages; just come and be yourself. It’s all welcome in the in forest.
No experience needed.
Nature and Forest Therapy Walks is not about distance or endurance. Its about slowing down and noticing; being mindful and connected. A session is normally 3 hours and takes place in a natural environment, typically in the forest.
In due time before your Walk you will receive a note with all you need to know.
My name is Dorthe, and I have been working in nature for more than a decade. I like trekking and exploring the backcountry and currently I am the co-manager of a local tour operator that provides logistics and adventures in remote areas. Nature to me has always been a place to call home, however my relationship to nature has changes over time: it has become more intimate and precious. I started to feel the need to pause and take a closer look into nature, and I felt a growing need to protect it. Since 2020, when I started my certification with the ANFT, my path has become clear.
It will be my great pleasure to accompany you in your personal forest bathing experience.
I am certified ANFT Forest Therapy Guide and a Wilderness First Responder.
