Course description
Feeling mentally overloaded by exams, deadlines and constant screen time? This Nature Health Recharge workshop offers Wageningen University students a chance to slow down, relax and reconnect with nature.
Nature Health Recharge is based on forest bathing (shinrin-yoku), a Japanese practice that involves spending time in nature and paying attention to what you see, hear, smell and feel.
We walk at a relaxed pace and spend part of the session in silence. Along the way, you’ll do simple exercises to help you slow down and experience your surroundings in a different way.
You will take part in simple sensory invitations that help you calm your mind, reduce stress and improve focus.
Many students leave the session feeling more grounded, mentally refreshed and better able to concentrate.
No experience with meditation, mindfulness or nature activities is needed — everyone is welcome.
The session lasts about 1.5 hours, takes place on or around campus, and is free of charge through Student Training & Workshops. We finish with a simple tea ceremony to help you gently transition back into your day.
