MOUNT SCHOENSTATT SPIRITUALITY CENTRE

230 Fairlight Road

Mulgoa NSW 2745

Rest, reset, rejuvenate and give a green booster to your energy.

​

This is a great chance for you to experience the practice of Shinrin-yoku (Forest bathing), a Japanese way of "immersion in nature".

​

You will spend time in the tranquil, beautiful natural environment of Mount Shoenstatt in Mulgoa, 

only one hour drive from Sydney.

​

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

​

The Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku—literally translated as “forest bathing”—is based on a simple premise: immerse yourself in the forest, absorb its sights, sounds, and smells, and you will reap numerous psychological and physiological benefits.
