The forest is a living organism, providing an open space to connect with the world around you. Open up your senses and step out of the rush — into the green, nourishing world of the forest.

Forest Bathing (Skogsbad in Swedish) is a practice of immersing yourself in the atmosphere of nature. Through a series of gentle invitations, you let the forest do what it does best: bring you back to the present moment.

Valid for Friskvårdsbidrag.


What to expect

We’ll meet at the starting point, walk a short distance together, and then Laurence will introduce the practice — what it is, why it works, and what your time together will look like.

From there, the experience unfolds through a series of open invitations. You’re never told how to do something — you’re simply invited to explore with your senses: what do you see, hear, smell, feel? 

Establish a connection with the world around you. Let yourself be embraced by nature and notice your senses engage differently. 

Throughout the experience, individual wandering weaves together with shared moments of reflection in circle.

You close with a tea ceremony — a moment to gather, share what arose, and let the experience land. This is also an opportunity to eat a sandwich or snack you can bring for yourself as we are aware that the experience is ending close to dinner time.

Throughout this series, you will explore a different theme at each event. The events are scheduled around the full moon of each month, inviting connection to the rhythm of nature, and the themes follow different elements of nature.

Why Forest Bathing

The benefits are well-documented:

  • Cortisol (stress hormone) levels drop measurably
  • Trees release phytoncides — airborne molecules that boost our immune system
  • Soil bacteria have been linked to improved mood
  • Time in nature increases our capacity for social connection

It’s biology.


About Laurence

Laurence Nachin is the founder of Sense in Nature,

She facilitates workshops and guides outdoor experiences that help people rediscover their connection to the natural world and weave nature back into daily life — at home and at work. Born in France and based in Sweden for over twenty years, she thinks of herself, first and foremost, as an Earthling.

She brings a unique combination to our forest bathing experience: with a PhD in cell biology and microbiology, AND a sensory, embodied approach to being in the living world from being a nature and forest therapy guide, she opens up a world of microorganisms and molecules that are quietly, constantly working for your wellbeing — and invites you to feel that, not just understand it.


< Find Laurence at the location on the day of the event, she will be the one meeting and guiding you.
