Discover the magic of Shinrin-yoku, or "forest bathing," in winter with a unique twist! Embrace the serene beauty of snow-covered landscapes while snowshoeing through the forest. 🥾❄️

As you navigate the peaceful, white wonderland, take a moment to breathe deeply and connect with nature. This practice not only soothes the mind but also revitalizes the spirit, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the tranquility of the season.

Are you ready to find peace in winter’s embrace? 💙

As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, nature invites us to embrace the beauty of transition. 🍂💫

Exploring the serene forests, where the changing colors remind us to let go and prepare for the quiet magic of winter.

Let’s connect with the calmness of the trees and the whispers of the wind. Nature has so much to teach us during this time of reflection.

I feel incredibly grateful to live in such a beautiful place. Thank you, Japan, for welcoming us ten years ago! After five years of offering forest therapy retreats and programs, I stand in front of a stunning waterfall with open arms, embracing the tranquility and inspiration it brings. And feeling the power of moving water!

Shinrin yoku in the heart of Tokyo!
If you live in the city center, take a moment to find a nearby park where you can slow down and connect with nature. Choose a tree that resonates with you and spends some time in its calming presence.
It's truly amazing to find these peaceful spots amidst the bustling city! 🌿💚

🌲✨ A torii gate standing proudly before a waterfall beautifully symbolizes two key aspects of Japanese spirituality, perfectly aligning with my Shinrin Yoku (forest bathing) practice:

1. Transition to the Sacred: The torii gate marks the passage from the everyday world to the divine realm of the kami (deities).

2. Purification: Flowing water, like the waterfall, represents purification in Shinto and Buddhist traditions.

This scene invites us to immerse ourselves in nature’s tranquility and reconnect with our inner selves. 🌿 Gratitude

San Dan Koyo (三段小葉)

- San Dan (三段): This translates to "three levels" or "three steps." In the context of nature and well-being, it symbolizes the journey of deepening our connection with the environment through various layers of experience.

- Koyo (小葉): This means "small leaves," representing the intricate details and beauty of nature that we often overlook. Small leaves are essential in ecosystems, reminding us of the importance of mindfulness and appreciation in our surroundings.

Together, "San Dan Koyo" encourages us to explore nature in layers, appreciating both the grand landscapes and the subtle details.

As we practice Shinrin Yoku (forest bathing), we embody this philosophy by immersing ourselves fully in the natural world, cultivating deeper awareness and connection.

"Autumn leaves whisper softly to the lake, reminding us that reflection is a dance between stillness and change."

A unique moment by the lake, surrounded by the vibrant colors of fall. We enjoyed a romantic boat ride, basking in the warm sunlight. What a privilege it is to live in such a beautiful place.
Truly grateful for this life and friends 🙏
