All Saints bosbad

Forest bathing is more than just disconnecting from all the technology and noise of modern life, it allows you to connect with something so much bigger than ourselves. You tune into a deeper wisdom. Call it intuition, nature or the universe – it has exactly the message for you that you need at that moment.

Country estate De Tempel

When you discover Buitenplaats De Tempel, you can't believe your eyes. This, on the edge of Rotterdam? Yes, it really exists! Just outside Overschie lies this beautiful estate. Here stands the oldest oak tree in Rotterdam. You smell conifers, see the water features glistening and walk along the winding paths.

What does this forest bath do for you?

Forest Bathing comes from the Japanese shinrin yoku, which means “luxuriant retreat under the trees.” It has aspects reminiscent of mindfulness, but is more outwardly focused than inwardly focused. Shinrin Yoku is a proven method to lower heart rate and blood pressure, reduce stress, boost the immune system, and improve overall well-being. Forest bathing helps you heal yourself—and your environment. To give your true self back its guiding force in your life.
