Who we are

A gentler way to meet yourself in nature.

Wild Heart Woodland Therapy CIC offers community interest, nature-based wellbeing experiences that support connection to self, others and the natural world.

Forest therapy with a wild heart

Sessions are inspired by forest therapy and the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku, often known as forest bathing. The emphasis is not on hiking, fitness or reaching a destination. It is about presence, slowing down, noticing what is around us and opening ourselves to the more-than-human world.

Experiences can be adapted for different groups and needs, including accessible and inclusive provision.

  • Gentle, guided practice in woodland and natural spaces
  • Nature-based gathering, reflection and connection
  • Optional sharing within the group
  • A closing circle, often with tea

What to expect

What a forest therapy session looks like.

A typical session is slow-paced, supportive and spacious. There is no fitness level required, just an openness to be present.

A gentle arrival

We begin with a welcome, simple grounding and a sense of what the session will involve.

Guided invitations

You are invited to connect with nature through sensory awareness, mindful wandering and quiet observation.

Reflection and sharing

There may be optional opportunities to share within the group, listen, or simply remain in quiet connection.

Closing circle

Sessions close gently, often with tea, allowing time to gather what the woodland has offered.

Rooted in wellbeing, not performance

Unlike a hike, forest therapy is about attention rather than distance. We slow down, notice what is around us and remember that we are part of the living world.

People often come to reconnect with nature, seek support for their wellbeing, meet others, or simply find a calm space away from everyday demands.

  • Suitable for individuals and small groups
