What is Travelers’ Choice?
Tripadvisor gives a Travelers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travelers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
This forest bathing program in the Sonian Forest is suitable for anyone who would like to smell, touch, hear, savor, see and feel nature deep within. We will meet at 9 am at the Sonian Forest and finish at 1 pm. In that time, we will carry out a five-step immersion in the forest and a final closing ceremony in which we will share our impressions. Forest bathing is as much an experience of the self and nature, as it is a meditative practice. Throughout the morning, we will work on ceremonial slow-pacing, and conscious attention, as well as tune into our senses and breath. As we do this, we will regain a sense of balance, bring our levels of anxiety down, enjoy simple details such as the rustle of leaves, and then have a chance to embrace the moment by sharing our impressions with the others in our group.

      Shinrin Yoku with Magda
      I booked a private shinrin yoku session with Explore-Share, but unfortunately their guide was injured and couldn't do it. Gauthier had been very helpful, quick to communicate and agreed to work with another guide he'd never met. All went well. My first forest bath guided by Magda was powerful and I appreciated the experience so much. She was calm, reassuring, and led all the invitations smoothly and sensitively. An eye-opening experience that will be fondly remembered.

      So close to Brussels but so far from the city
      In a beautiful and peaceful area (Arboretum de Jezus Eik, Forêt de Soignes), I enjoyed a moment of pure wellness and connection with nature and with myself. The Shinrin Yoku experience was really appreciated. It was a nice break in the running everyday life. Being the mother of a lovely 15 months old girl, it was great to have a moment for me, where the only thing you have to do is touch, breathe, smell, feel the nature around you as you wouldn’t do if you were going on a “normal” walk across the forest. The fact to concentrate on the nature around me, to slow down and live the moment without thinking in all logistics themes was a real resourcing experience. Nolwenn is a very nice guide with a very soft voice. She made us live this forest bath following the rhythm of the group. She also made us highly appreciate recommendations on the equipment to wear and bring with us. This was perfect to have the right amount of layers to be comfortable during the whole morning. In the end, there was also a small surprise that my stomach really appreciated. When I came back to the city, a feeling of lightness and inner calm was still there and remained for a while. I didn’t see the time pass by and will certainly repeat the experience. Maybe at another time of the year, in order to enjoy the forest at another season, with other plants and another moment of nature’s cycle. Thanks to Explore-Share to propose so many attractive outdoor activities to do with friends, alone, or with the family!

      Wonderful experience of Nature
      We spent an wonderful day connected to the nature with my wife. I never experiment such experience and it will definitely change how I see and feel the forest. Explore and Share made this experience accessible, affordable and really easy to organise. I must do for sure!

      The perfect experience to disconnect, close from home
      I joined one of Nolwenn’s sylvotherapy workshops in January 2021. It was very interesting to experience the different technics of forest bathing (Shinrin Yoku), learn about all the benefits that the trees can bring to human physical and mental\'s health, disconnect in nature for a couple of hours (close from home) and discover an area of La Forêt de Soignes that I didn’t know before. Nolwenn is a great expert and she manages the group dynamic very well. Highly recommended!
