The Healing Forest

For thousands of years our ancestors lived and thrived in the wilderness. Endless grasslands, dense forests and vast stretches of green were an integral part of a place we called home.

Healing In Nature

However, in the current times we live in a box, drive in a box, and even work-play-connect using a box. As a result, lifestyle ailments as well as loneliness are increasing rapidly, affecting many around the world. Living in the age of addictive technology it has become even more important for us to keep our brain healthy and learn how to protect our mind from anxiety, stress, addiction, and depression.

Fortunately, the remedies are easily available to those who know. Join us as we take you on a fascinating journey to unravel nature’s healing secrets.

Let’s see what nature can do for you and those who matter to you. Countries around the world are uncovering scientific proof about nature’s healing effects. Japan and South Korea have even created many healing forests where they practice forest bathing or healing forest walks. For our overloaded minds and overworked bodies, nature can yield surprising results.

Nature’s Surprising Gifts

As humans, we have evolved in nature. It’s what makes us feel complete. Multiple research on nature’s healing powers have shown a wide variety of benefits for our physical, mental, and social health. It provides an easy and effective way for avoiding stress, anxiety, burnout, depression, as well as reducing their ill-effects. Connecting with nature boosts our body’s immunity, energy levels, and healing ability. It can improve our mood, sleep, memory as well as focus. Nature connection also has a healthy influence on our emotional well-being and relationship skills.

Calm for your mind, body, life.

So how do we transform our connection with nature in a way that transforms us? How can we start sowing peace, happiness, and health in the world around us?

  1. It’s funny how, for so many of us, the beauty of a forest tends to draw us. I feel a connection with trees and rocks and moss and creatures that is undeniable. Thank you for bringing this community together.

    • Totally agree with this. My wife and I have done a poor job, the last few years, enjoying the beauty around us. Being in nature is perfect.

  2. Superb project for both environment and people. I love what your team is doing. Yes, forests and nature walks do really help in energizing and healing us. I remember, every summer time when we were kids until we became teenagers, we would travel by ship all the way from Metro Manila to visit our patenal grandparents in Sibuyan Island, Romblon. The island gave us a lot of opportunities to walk in a lush forest, cross streams and swim in a pristine river and the sea. I must say that such experiences are rejuvenating and memorable as they gave us a yearly dose of energy for the coming school year. Now that I am an adult, I really hope that I could make nature and forest walks a regular activity, or at best, live near a forest. More power to all of you! – Shenna (Metro Manila, Philippines).

  3. I get my strength from nature. When I am among pine trees, I feel as if I’m being embraced by them. Sadness disperses usually, but not always; Suddenly and swiftly, memories and my associated emotions come upon me, and I will think of the animal companions who have shared their lives with me, my soul indestinguishable from theirs. And then Blessed Peace; I feel their presence, and out of the corner of my eye, sometimes I will see a shadow then hear movement. Perhaps leaves moving or a twig snapping. Thank you for reading my letter of love. Peace, Linda the gentle vegan
