Walk Description:

This immersive introductory experience uses all of our senses within one of Scotland’s beautiful and scenic forests and lasts approximately 4 hours. During that time you will be informed and guided but not instructed, as how you benefit is up to you and your own open mindedness.

You are encouraged to relax and explore in a somewhat childlike way as you discover what is new to you but has been there all the time. Take a breath in the forest and feel refreshed both physically and mentally, the effects of which can become profoundly and beneficially noticed for a considerable time afterwards.

Some important points.

Please be prepared to walk about 3 miles and sometimes uphill on forest tracks. Please do not bring pets or wear perfumes or strong scents. Do not bring or alternatively silence mobile phones.

These requests are to prevent sensory distraction that can spoil the experience for you and others.

Ensure that you have suitable comfortable warm waterproof clothing and footwear for the duration of the walk and the weather, please bring your own hydration and snack as we stop for a short snack while midway through the session. If you are sensitive to insect bites or strong sun, bring some insect repellent and or sun creme but only use if needed.

Unfortunately, this experience is not open to under 16’s
