Join Certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide Amanda for this two-hour guided session while exploring the calming benefits of Forest Therapy in the beautiful Ballarat Botanical Gardens.

This session will help you connect with nature through sensory exploration and guided activities designed to reduce stress and enhance wellbeing. 

As you wander through the shaded canopies of the garden discover the therapeutic benefits of Shinrin-yoku or Forest Bathing. Supported by scientific research, this immersive experience invited you to slow down, embrace the present moment and rejuvenate your mind and body.

Conclude the session with a Japanese inspired tea-sharing ceremony. 

This session is a fundraiser for the International Nature and Forest Therapy Alliance (INFTA), a not-for-profit association incorporated in Victoria dedicated to establishing Forest Therapy as an evidence-based, internationally recognised public health and preventable health practice.

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
