A Nottinghamshire-based business focused on getting people into the outdoors will be offering sessions of ‘forest bathing’ to adults
starting this Wednesday .
Get Lost in the Forest was started up in May 2023 by primary school teacher Heather Perry after she said she felt “disillusioned” with the strains of the job despite enjoying the work itself.“I had been a primary school teacher for nine years”, she said, “and whilst I still loved the teaching part, I'd become really disillusioned with the stress and pressure that came with it.
An important facet to the initiative is to abstain from using modern technology. According to Ms Perry: “Not being focused on technology or the next thing that's happening should reduce the stress that people feel. “There are plenty of papers from Japan and South Korea about how forest bathing can improve cardiovascular health, immune system function and a lowering in stress hormones like cortisol and increase the presence of anti-cancer proteins and improve blood pressure.”
As a result of this trial, forest bathing became available as a social prescription across Surrey. The National Academy for Social Prescribing were awarded seven sites and a small level of funding to see whether it could help people's wellbeing and activity levels across the UK.
