At MIMAMAID Forest Bathing, the forest is used as a space for slowing down and engaging the senses. Guided by certified instructor Lara Keuthen, participants focus on mindfulness, presence, and gentle movement while breathing in phytoncide-rich air. Her forest bathing sessions can include “Waldbaden” with all senses, “waldbART” combining forest bathing with expressive arts therapy, or personalized sessions. The walks are gentle and suitable for all ages and fitness levels, with proven effects on nerves, hormones, and immunity. Sessions take place in the Sachsenwald, near Hamburg, allowing participants to experience the forest through observation, creative exercises, and quiet reflection.

We were kindly invited to explore the place as part of a press visit. As always, all impressions are entirely our own.
