Forest Bathing #26 - Treespeed and the Importance of Safe and Brave Spaces

Treespeed; forest bathing with Highland Quietlife

This is the start of a series of episodes focusing on specific areas that are important to us as guides. Our first one the importance of safe spaces and vulnerability.
Why?
Quite simply because we've spent too many years being judged by others and not feeling comfortable in certain settings. Species survive by having ‘tending’ relationships with other species; we look after, or out for each other. If we don’t receive this from the people around us, we start to feel sad, defensive, left out of things, different to others, unliked, confused….the list goes on.
This is an area we have to be acutely aware of as Forest Therapy Guides and was a really important one for us to discuss.
As always, please reach out with feedback and enjoy.
