Feeling overwhelmed? Nature can help 🌳🍃

Research shows that even 20–30 minutes of Forest Bathing can lower cortisol, slow the heart rate, and ease rumination, giving your nervous system a much-needed breather.

Studies from Japan, the UK and Europe all point to the same thing: time among trees helps us reset.

Join Karen for a free guided Forest Bathing walk in Priory Gardens, Orpington this Sunday- just one gentle hour to slow down, notice the winter colours, and let your body shift out of stress mode.

Sunday 14th December
11am
Priory Gardens, Orpington

🌿 Free & open to all adults who need to recharge book via https://linktr.ee/ParkBathe

Step outside, breathe, reset. Your cortisol levels will thank you 🌳🍃❤️🍁

If winter feels dull and colourless, try slowing down… and really looking. 🍂✨

What first appears to be brown sludge is actually full of hidden tones, soft viridian greens tucked under fallen leaves, flashes of gold in rotting debris, muted ochres and smoky purples in tree bark.

Winter light is gentler and more diffused, and it reveals depth if we give it a chance.

So put your phone away for a moment. Lift your eyes. Let the colours find you.
 There’s a whole quiet palette out there, waiting to be noticed. 🤎🌿✨

Join our next free Parkbathes in MHA The Wilderness on 8th and Cator park and Priory Gardens on December 14th. 🌲🌲🌲

🐾 Mindful Dog Walk – this Sunday at 11am, Cator Park, Beckenham.

Join Millie for a gentle, restorative stroll designed for both humans and their four-legged friends.

So….Why join?

🌳 Originally created for carers who struggle to find time for themselves, these walks offer calm, connection and sensory immersion in your local park.

🌳Well-behaved dogs are welcome - when humans slow down, dogs do too.

🌳Did you know dogs’ noses are up to 100,000 times more sensitive than ours? They help us notice things we’d otherwise miss.

🌳It’s easy to scroll or make calls while walking so this session helps you truly see the park: the colours, the fungi, the changing season.

🌳 Expect to leave feeling calmer, grounded and reconnected – often for days afterwards.

Cator Park, Beckenham
Sunday 11am

🐕 Bring your curiosity (and your pooch!) join 1600 people who have learnt the art of forest bathing 💚 no water involved!

🍄Find Fungi Treats with Parkbathe!

It’s prime mushroom-spotting season, the woodland floor is alive with hidden treasures if you know where to look! Here are a few fungi friends to keep an eye out for on your next walk with us:
King James Fungi (King Alfred’s Cakes) These dark, round fungi cling to dead ash trees like little charcoal buttons - or burnt cakes! They’re tough and woody, not for eating, but make brilliant natural firelighters once dried!

Bonnets - Delicate and whimsical, bonnets (from the Mycena family) pop up on mossy logs and leaf litter. These vary in size but think fairy toadstools, small, pale, and so pretty when the light hits their caps.
Turkey Tail - Look for colourful, fan-shaped brackets with fine, velvety rings of brown, blue, and green. They grow on dead wood and look like, yes, you guessed it, a turkey’s tail.

Hen of the Woods (a.k.a. Hen’s Tail) Found at the base of oak trees, this soft, ruffled fungus looks like a feathery hen! It’s a prized edible (only if correctly identified). Always cross-check with a reliable fungi guide or expert before foraging.

🌿 Top Tips for Spotting Fungi:

1. Look down! Most fungi love damp, decaying wood and shaded soil.
2. Move slowly, their colours can blend perfectly with leaves.
3. Take photos, not samples, unless you’re confident in ID.
4. Early morning after rain = peak mushroom magic.
5. Respect the ecosystem as fungi play a vital role in woodland health.
