Lovely slow dog walk today. No agenda, just going at his pace and taking time to listen to the birds and soft fascination on the smaller details we often miss as we rush past.

#shinrinyoku / #forestbathing encourages us to notice colour, texture and relationships.

Blue skys, birdsong, emerging bulbs and buds.

Spring definitely on its way 🤞

Poor iPhone picture but highlighting that #shinrinyoku / #forestbathing doesn’t have to be a day time activity.

Tawny owls in the trees, unseen larger mammals rustling out of sight and reducing reliance on sight brings our other senses to the fore.

Hi, new to Bluesky. I’m Jim and I use #shinrin-yuko social interaction, creative woodland projects and lots of fun adventurous activities to reduce the negative impacts of isolation and loneliness in our community.
