A Peaceful Forest Bathing Session

Season 1 · Episode 4

Friday, April 17, 2020 • Duration 08:53

Join us as we guide you through the steps of a peaceful forest bathing session. Forest bathing, or shinrin yoku, is the Japanese therapeutic practice of 'taking in the atmosphere of the forest.' Whether you choose to wander the twists and turns of a deep jungle or stroll the well-worn paths of a childhood wood, allow this mindfulness practice to transport to where the air is fresh and the trees reach up toward the sky. We’ve created these audio tours to transport you to inspiring destinations around the world, even when you can’t be there in person. So settle in, close your eyes, and take in the sounds of the forest.

Sailing Down the Mekong River

Let’s take a peaceful cruise up the Mekong River in Vietnam. Along the way, we’ll admire the scenery and see local life as it unfolds along the sloping banks.

We’ve created these audio tours to transport you to inspiring destinations around the world, even when you can’t be there in person. So settle in, close your eyes, and imagine yourself setting sail.
