Forest bathing, or Shinrin-Yoku, means taking in the forest atmosphere with all one's senses. Not simply a walk in the woods, it’s a conscious, contemplative practice of being immersed in the sights, sounds and smells of the forest. By immersing ourselves in nature and engaging our senses, forest bathing can improve immune function, cardiovascular and respiratory health, and reduces stress. Join our Forest Bathing sessions to experience these benefits first hand.

We acknowledge the lək ̓ʷəŋən (Songhees and Esquimalt) Peoples on whose territory the Nature Sanctuary stands, and the lək ̓ʷəŋən and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.
We respect the vital relationships of First Peoples with these lands and waters for countless generations. We are honoured to receive Indigenous guidance and welcome collaboration in stewardship and appreciation of the Nature Sanctuary.
