the importance of connection to nature
While simply being in a natural environment is beneficial to human health, it is a deeper contact and engagement-connection- with nature that has been shown to promote long-term improvements in mental health and emotional wellbeing.
Latest research shows that simply going outside is not enough to improve health on its own. Its what you do with time outdoors that matters.
Nature engagement is how we access the goodness of nature for mental wellbeing- we need to develop a meaningful, more emotional relationship. Time and true moments of connection matter.

testimonials from previous outings
I had the most wonderful and amazing time on the FORest retreat this February. The description of the retreat sounded right up my alley, but the actual experience far exceeded what I expected.
From the warm welcome prior to the retreat, the supportive and loving nature of those organising the course as well the other participants. Right to the content of the retreat which was well balanced and inclusive.
The worst part was having to leave, but I have every intention to return one day ❤️

Wonderful yoga and nature retreat, Ruta puts a lot of care and effort so participants enjoy every detail and activity. Amazing food with cheffe Donata and great yoga with Chris. I am so grateful for this guided time outdoors and the connections we built as a community, I really recommend !
