A forest bathing event is taking place in Furry Glen in Dublin's Phoenix Park on Friday, August 4 to help people connect with nature and reap its "healing" benefits.
Organised by Aurora Procopio, the event sees her bring guests on a relaxing forest walk and inviting them to fully immerse themselves in nature. The forest bathing lasts between two and a half to three hours and begins with Aurora introducing herself and explaining the practice's "endless" benefits.
She then kicks off a meditation to open up the senses to nature, during which many people decide to go barefoot. There is then the walk as well as a tea ceremony.
