It's time to bring your team of remote workers together!

​

Recent research by Microsoft suggests that remote working can have a negative effect

on productivity and life satisfaction. Remote working impacts on physical and mental well-being

with increased  feelings of loneliness and emotional exhaustion 

​

The benefits of joining a remotely guided forest bathing session are:

​

• Conversation: creates connection, inspires and motivates, gives you a sense of value, gives you a new perspective, can make you laugh, repairs relationships and helps process pain and confusion. 

​

• Reduced feelings of time pressure and mental stress: taking time outs from work is not a luxury – it’s essential. Taking breaks from stressful routines can amp up creativity, productivity, and focus. 

 

• Better health and wellbeing: people who spend at least 120 minutes a week in green spaces ( urban parks, the woods or beaches) are significantly more likely to report good health and higher psychological wellbeing 

​​

• Awe and reconnection: viewing larger phenomena such as towering trees, rolling valleys, and vast skies can often instil the same sense of wonder we feel outside. Experiencing awe engages the parasympathetic nervous system which promotes relaxation.

​

• Cognitive Recuperation: rich, verdant scenes of nature offer a 'soft fascination', one of the elements of Kaplan's Attention Restoration Theory. Example watching water flowing down a stream allows the brain to go into a relaxed state 

 

• Accelerated recovery: patients with views of nature scenes report reduced anxiety
