Shinrin Yoku
(森林浴)-
Forest Bathing

What is Shinrin Yoku (森林浴)?

  • The Japanese Art of Forest Bathing is a practice that strengthens each participant’s personal connection to Nature. We create space for individual healing and community connection, all in kinship with the larger, natural world.

  • Our approach takes inspiration from nature-based practices found in Indigenous and Japanese cultures. Our practitioners of Shinrin Yoku are certified with the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy (ANFT).
    The Praxium also serves as a connector in Canada’s national PaRx program.

Lyceum

What is a Lyceum?

  • The Lyceum is a practice for strengthening participants’ connection to other learners. Older adults, mature adults, and younger learners strive together for shared understanding. Participants gain knowledge and wisdom to solve problems to improve themselves and their communities.
