About

Shinrin-yoku is a term that means “taking in the forest atmosphere” or “forest bathing.”

It was developed in Japan during the 1980’s and has become a cornerstone of preventive health care and healing in Japanese medicine.

A robust body of scientific literature now exists on the health benefits of spending time under the canopy of a living forest.

Inspired by the Japanese practice and the emerging worldwide trend toward nature-based wellness practices, Osmosis is offering a one-day spa meditation retreat.

Expect a very leisurely walk with a series of guided invitations, ending with “shinrin-yoku tea,” a simple ceremony of drinking tea made of plants foraged along the trail.

The program includes a mindful Forest Bathing walk, a cedar enzyme foot-bath, a revitalizing 75-minute massage or facial, organic lunch, shinrin-yoku tea and time for quiet reflection in the gardens.
