RACHEL'S RETREAT

2 Bottlebrush Dr, Faulconbridge NSW 2776

Followed by successful Forest Bathing Retreats in 2020 & 2021, the 2023 retreat will take place in the tranquil, beautiful natural environment of Mount Schoenstatt in Mulgoa- only one hour's drive from Sydney.

 

There has never been a better time to explore new well-being opportunities as we embrace the benefits of slowing down and putting our health first.  Forest bathing is a beautiful way to recharge, connect with nature and regenerate our souls. The practice involves a series of guided methods to help you relax, become more present and connect with the natural world.

 

This event is hosted by Mayu Kataoka, based on a simple premise:

  • Immerse yourself in the forest.

  • Absorb its sights, sounds, and smells.

  • Reap numerous psychological and physiological benefits.
