Mindfulness for Sustainability

Enhance your wellbeing and the planet cohesively.

While nature can exist independently of humans, we rely heavily on natural resources. Unfortunately, our disconnection from nature and our own natural selves has contributed significantly to climate change. This disconnection often leads to uncompassionate behaviors that harm the environment.

Mindfulness offers a solution by helping us become fully present and aware of our thoughts, feelings, and surroundings. This workshop employs forest bathing, a Japanese practice rooted in tradition, to guide participants in mindfulness. Forest bathing, or “shinrin-yoku”, is more than a casual walk in the woods. It’s about connecting with nature on a deep, sensory level.

Testimonials

I had the delightful chance to experience forest bathing with Ru Yi, guided by her expertise. Being unfamiliar with the concept, I was curious about how the session would unfold. Those two hours proved to be truly enriching. I savored the serenity of nature and found solace in the meditation and grounding exercises. It was a literal and metaphorical immersion in fresh air, leaving me with a sense of calm, relaxation, and renewed energy. I eagerly look forward to joining the next session.

I had a wonderful time forest bathing with Ru Yi. It reminded me of the healing power of nature and how it can be the perfect antidote to the patterns that weigh down our mental and spiritual health. I would highly recommend partaking in this activity often to develop new patterns that can help redefine how you respond to mental issues. It’s especially beneficial to participate in a group with others and an experienced guide such as Ru Yi.
