Forest Bathing
🌿 The Benefits of Forest Bathing
​
At Avalon, we believe deeply in the healing power of nature. Forest bathing—known in Japan as shinrin-yoku—is the simple, mindful practice of spending time in the forest, slowing down, and fully immersing your senses in the natural world.
​
Unlike a hike or workout, forest bathing is not about distance or pace. It’s about being present. Listening to the birdsong, feeling the breeze on your skin, and noticing the dappled sunlight through the trees. Research shows that this gentle, grounding practice can reduce stress, boost mood, enhance focus, and support your immune system.

🌲 Monday Morning Forest Walks at Avalon
Every Sunday| 10:30 AM – 1:00 PM
Free | Limited to 8 places
​
Join us for a gentle and magical start to your week. Every Monday morning, weather permitting, Bob Ocean hosts a peaceful walk through the forest and down the Fairy Trail at Dreamery Gardens.
​
These slow, mindful walks are a chance to breathe deeply, connect with nature, and enjoy good company. We'll end the walk with fresh coffee and pastries—either in the café or back at Avalon, depending on the weather.
​
Whether you're a regular or it's your first time, you're warmly welcome. There's no cost, but places are limited to 8 people to keep the experience personal and intimate.
​
To reserve your spot, get in touch early—these walks tend to fill up!
