Peace in Diversity Webinar: “Shinrin Yoku – A tool for trainers to renew energy in our daily life”

The last event of our webinar series “Tools for Peace” is here!

�� In this last webinar, Loretta will introduce us to “Shinrin Yoku.” First, in a theoretical way and as an effective method to slow down, relax and practice mindfulness in nature, together we will look at its history and the theory behind it and how we can use this practice in youth work and trainings. In a second part, we will discover simple exercises to practice mindfulness and to slow down in daily life (even if you don’t have time to go to nature). 
Shinrin-yoku (Japanese term: 森林浴, 森林 (shinrin, “forest”) + 浴 (yoku, “bath or bathing “), also known as forest bathing, is a practice or process of relaxation where you spend time in a forest or natural space, focusing on all senses in order to connect with nature.
