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.

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?

I spent the first 9 years of my life living at the edge of a beautiful forest in Ireland. It was my playground. I knew every plant, stream, bird and creature living there. I have lived and traveled in many beautiful places and yet, each time I inhale a forest floor or drink from a clear pool my childhood forest come alive inside. Whenever fear, sadness or stress appear I place my spirit in nature and I am that forest child, once more. Thank you for this exquisite film. Now I am a grandmother sharing nature with little ones. I live in Maine, USA, a land of many forests . Thank you!

Hello Nan,
I was so deeply grieved when I had to return to the city after living for a year in the forest, I never would even go out to a park. But just watching these films rekindles the forest energy in my body again so strongly! My heart rises up in the rushing joy and wonder of my walks through the woods each night. If the films stir that in you, perhaps could watch the films each day, and bathe in the eternal and blessed memory of those living energies reactivated in your body and heart. Love to you, Ann
