"There is no WiFi in the forest, but I promise you will find a better connection."
In today’s fast-paced, technology-driven world, stepping away from artificial frequencies and immersing oneself in nature is essential for mental and emotional well-being. Forest bathing offers a powerful opportunity to recalibrate the mind, body and spirit, promoting stillness, presence and mental clarity.
Reawaken. Reconnect. Return to nature.🌿

Gentle time outdoors may help improve mood and create space for reflection and emotional balance.

Through Wildeye Adventures, she works with individuals, schools, community groups and corporate teams, helping people reconnect with nature and discover the benefits of spending time among trees.
The Science Behind Forest Bathing
Forest bathing, known in Japan as Shinrin-Yoku, has attracted growing scientific interest for its potential benefits to mental and physical wellbeing.
Research suggests that spending time in forest environments may help reduce stress, support relaxation and improve mood. Some studies have also observed changes in cortisol levels, blood pressure and measures of nervous system activity following time spent in woodland settings.
Trees release natural aromatic compounds known as phytoncides, which are being studied for their potential effects on human health and immune function. However, research into their long-term benefits is still developing.
Forest bathing encourages us to slow down, engage our senses and reconnect with the natural world, creating opportunities for calm, mindfulness and restoration.

TESTIMONIALS
"Yara was fantastic! We were encouraged to explore our surroundings and pay close attention to our senses, feeling, smelling, hearing, seeing and even tasting! (Did you know pine leaves taste like citrus and are full of goodness?) As it got darker, our senses became even more switched on as we had to follow the sound of Yara's flute back to our meeting spot where we learned about the science behind how trees communicate with each other, how the bacteria in the outdoors supports a healthy microbiome and the neurobiology behind how trees and woodlands can help our bodies immune systems. Yara is incredibly knowledgable and passionate about her work which really captured the imaginations of our group. We managed to stumble our way back to the cars (without torches) feeling relaxed, calm and refreshed! My colleagues all messaged me the next morning telling me what a fantastic time they had, and how relaxed they still felt. One is excited to try out the hammocks on our next outing! 10/10 we are already planning our next one!"
- Ben Wingrove | Marish Academy Trust
"Thank you for a very special unique wonderful Shinrin Yoku walk with the group in the beautiful bluebell woods last Wednesday for Mental Health Awareness week. Still feel calm and relaxed" - Ginette Goulston-Lincoln
"We recently booked Yara to guide our team through a forest bathing experience as part of our annual corporate away day. We had a wonderfully relaxing afternoon in a beautiful setting at Brasted Chart. Yara's passion for the natural world was infectious. Everyone in the team was able to participate and the feedback we had internally was glowing. If you're on the fence, I recommend that you ask for the hammocks! Thanks, Yara!" - Molly Lewis | Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP
"A very lovely relaxing experience made a nice change from the office. Loved the staring up at the canopy at the end"
