ParkBathe

25/01/2026

We hear a lot of the same things after a parkbathe walk…

If you’ve never been, this may surprise you🍃

There are definitely some patterns 🌳

The Skeptic
Vibe: Arms folded at the start.

Their line:
“That wasn’t what I was expecting…”

Often arriving braced for awkwardness, talking circles (ugh!) or acute embarrassment. Leave pleasantly surprised.

The Time-Traveller
Vibe: Mildly stunned, slightly emotional.

Their line:
“I’ve seen more in the last 30 minutes than I have in 20 years.”

Often followed by a long pause and a slow head shake.

The Evangelist
Vibe: Convert halfway through the walk.

Their line:
“Everyone needs to do this.”

They’ve mentally booked on friends and partners before the walk has even ended. We call them ‘green recruiters’ 💚

If you have been on a park by tell us which one YOU are, or are you another one?

Start this New Year with slow steps.

No need to change who you are.

Perhaps all that is needed is a little restoration on the weekend. We’ve got your back!

book Free via bio, all adults including low mobility welcome and well-behaved dogs on leads - humans without dogs of course very welcome too 🐾🍁

Forest Bathing is simply walking slowly in nature while using our senses to relax and see our park with new eyes.

Full house yet again for the Crystal palace Parkbathe! We had some regulars and some new folk with one saying, “ this is just what I needed!” 💚🍃🍁 next one is Feb 1st.

This new year’s resolution list could look a bit different - if you want it to 💚

✔ Slow down
✔ Do less, not more
✔ Let “boring” be restorative
✔ Stop rushing to fill every gap
✔ Choose consistency over intensity

And the not-to-do list matters too:
✖ Don’t push through tiredness
✖ Don’t turn rest into something to earn
✖ Don’t confuse busy with meaningful

At ParkBathe, we’re starting the year the same way we walk it…slowly, outdoors, and without pressure.

If your nervous system needs a quieter kind of January, you’re very welcome to join us 🌳

We’ve got your back 💚

Sunday 18th January 2026 | 1pm - 3.30pm Ruskin Park, Camberwell
FOREST BATHING AND SAUNA COMBO!
Step into the new year restored — not depleted.
Forest bathing isn’t a walk.
It’s a clinically researched nervous-system reset.
Research shows forest bathing can:
• Lower cortisol (stress hormone)
• Reduce rumination and mental fatigue
• Improve mood, focus and immune function
• Activate the parasympathetic (“rest & digest”) response
And then… we seal it in with sauna 🔥
Why sauna after nature works so well:
• Heat exposure improves circulation and cardiovascular health
• Increases endorphins and deep relaxation
• Supports muscle recovery and sleep quality
• Extends the calming effects of time in green space
Nature slows the mind.
Sauna softens the body.
Together, they create the ultimate weekend reset.
Book your place via bio — this will fill up fast.

All of our Parkbathe walks are popular, but the women’s monthly session at South Norwood Lake and Grounds led by is a much loved favourite for many women who return time and time again. We look forward to welcoming you again in 2026 💚🍁🌳🍃
