Shinrin Yoku and High Tea

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we often forget how important it is to take a moment to truly unwind. Thankfully, there’s an ancient Japanese ritual that can help us shed the stresses and connect with nature: Shinrin Yoku, also known as forest bathing. I decided to experience this unique ritual in the beautiful Roozendaalse forest, immersing myself and allowing my senses to be awakened in this serene setting. Guiding us through this forest bathing session is the inspiring Vianne Haalboom, a personal growth coach with a deep love for nature.
