May 12, 2025 8:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Burnbanks, Haweswater
As dusk falls and the full moon rises, discover how the magic of woods can bring you health and happiness, deep peace and restoration, on a Forest Bathing adventure amongst the wonderful woodlands of Wild Haweswater in Lake District National Park.
The practice of Forest Bathing (Shinrin Yoku - Japanese for "forest" and "bath") using all of our senses: sight, touch, sound, smell, taste, emerged in Japan in the 1980s. As humans we are instinctively drawn to woodlands: the tranquil, quiet atmosphere, infused with sweet birdsong; the beautiful, green scenery and fresh, woodland air; the sense of calm, peace and restoration that envelops you.
Until the early 2000s there was little scientific research to evaluate the therapeutic benefits to our physical and mental health of spending time amongst the trees. But the results of academic research have proved to be hugely impressive.
Immersed, transported and relaxed in the magical woodlands, we'll give you the tools to take Forest Bathing nature connectedness back into your daily lives and we'll discuss the incredible impacts for your health: increased immunity, lowered blood pressure, reduced stress and anxiety, improved moods, better sleep and more happiness.

Cost: FREE
Location:
Wild Haweswater encompasses 30 square kilometres of mossy woodland, rushing streams, moorland, heath and bog, and farmland set within a mountainous landscape on the eastern edge of the Lake District National Park.
Nestled in the folds of Haweswater’s dramatic landscape lie pockets of wildness; alpine plants cling to cliffs and ledges, whilst woodland birds, red squirrels and badgers teem in the woodlands
Wild Haweswater is a partnership between the RSPB and United Utilities, who are working together to manage the site for people, water and wildlife. With farming running alongside habitat restoration and thriving upland wildlife, the reserve demonstrates how people and nature can thrive together.
