Indulge Your Senses With Nature Therapy

Living our busy modern lives, it can be easy to forget that we’re wired for the outdoors. Nature is our home – a fact proven by the many health benefits we experience just from being outside. National Geographic reports that our brains have a biological response to being outdoors. The front lobe takes a break from the hyper-focus required of us in urban settings, letting us feel a state of calm unlike any other.

Nature therapy takes this connection even further. With certified guide Anita by your side, you’ll immerse yourself in nature with all five senses. You’ll take in the outdoors like never before, all while enjoying the proven benefits of nature therapy. Studies have shown “forest bathing” promotes mental and physical wellbeing, with effects including lowering blood pressure, improving sleep, and boosting mood.

Bonne et Belle’s nature therapy sessions are private events, tailored to your group. It’s the perfect experience for families, corporate teams, professionals, and other groups with up to 12 members.
