Forest Therapy
Let's Get Outside To Get Inside!
Wait... what does that even mean? Forest therapy with A Little Zen offers a unique, holistic, nature-integrated approach to traditional counselling by taking traditional talk therapy and combining it with mindful movement, intentional breath work, with sensational experiences of being outside in the forest and nature.
Forest therapy with A Little Zen provides a unique and holistic approach to traditional talk therapy. Here at A Little Zen, we believe that sometimes we need to ‘get outside to get inside’. This nature-integrated approach combines mindful movement and intentional breath with the traditional aspects of talk therapy, all while being fully immersed in the beauty of nature.
Exposure to nature can improve cognition, help individuals deal with anxiety and depression, and promote positive changes in mood and memory. Allowing ourselves to truly experience the forest lets us become more present and alive. The sensations of the winds, the smells, the temperatures, and the mere presence of the forest draws us closer to the "here and now".
Experience it!
Experience how nature therapy (forest therapy) can provide you with tools to manage stressors and forge a deeper understanding and connection within yourself and the natural world around you.
By being in nature, we can heighten our awareness through our senses and deepen our connection within ourselves.
While being in nature, we can learn skills to increase our psychological flexibility to live a life well, even when there is pain. These tools teach us how to live alongside stressors and pain while living an authentic life with purpose.
At A Little Zen, we truly believe that sometimes we need to ‘get outside to get inside’.
Forests should not be walked on, they should be walked under and through.
