Forest Bathing – Woodland Impressions

A month ago I participated in the Wilderness First Aid course at the Search and Rescue Centre near Waverly. The Advanced module was rescheduled for today. I decided to make my way there yesterday afternoon to avoid an early morning commute. When I arrived I was told that there would not be a class after all. Hmmm, I was hugely disappointed but proceeded to follow my original plan and explore the woods for some exercise. Down the steep hill I went and it was definitely worth it! The log used to cross the fast flowing creek just a month ago was just decoration: the path was dry and the creek bed easy to navigate!

The forest beyond last month’s section was calling!

Time slips away when the forest envelops… there wasn’t a soul anywhere!

Climbing the rope I performed a mental check-in on how I felt about the cancelled class and I was fine, ready for the 2 hour drive home! Forest bathing is good for the body and mind, I invite you to try it if you are not a regular subscriber already😀.
