Forest bathe & spa day

The perfect introduction to this popular and natural therapy. Immerse yourself in this experience, using the forest as a source of natural well being, followed by lunch and time in our award-winning spa.

We invite you to join us for a two hour forest bathing experience with Swedish teacher Helena Skoog followed by a delicious two course lunch with a forest inspired mocktail and then an afternoon in the Spa.

For those unfamiliar with the term, 'forest bathing' simply means the practice of slowing down and totally immersing yourself in the forest atmosphere. Inspired by the Japanese art of Shinrin-yoku which draws on the therapeutic powers of nature to reduce stress and impart you with a profound sense of peace.

Helena will skilfully guide you through a series of sensory invitations enabling you to connect, in the present moment, with yourself and your natural surroundings.

Setting off from Ockenden Manor, please arrive by 9.30am for a 9.45am start, followed by lunch on return to the hotel at approximately 12pm.

After lunch wander down to the Spa for a moment of quiet and a relaxing spa treatment.
