MUSICAL FOREST BATH, THE BENEFITS OF MUSIC AND NATURE

The sylvotherapy comes to us from Japan where the benefits for the body and the spirit of these practices of immersion and meditation in the forest have been known since the 90s under the name of shinrin yoku (forest bath ). The Forest Festival, which for 27 years has invited its audience to walk in the forest before concerts, was a precursor. During its 26th ^th edition, it created the Musical Forest Baths . Distinct from concerts, these marches combine contact with nature and listening to living music, because they have many points in common and pursue the same end: connection with oneself, a source of harmony and well-being. The Musical forest baths benefit from the experience accumulated by the festival in supporting the public in the forest and in mediation. Two people have finely crafted them:

• Jean-Luc Chavanis , coach, consultant and trainer, designer of the Métanature method of business mediation , author of Ces Jardins qui nous aide (Le Courrier du Livre);
• Christine Vervel, hospital doctor, pediatrician, member of the board of directors of the Forest Festival.

• Departure and arrival in a historic site to discover, in the middle of the forest or on the edge;
• A welcome drink or coffee;
• An easy walk in the forest totaling approximately 5 to 6 kilometers;
• Times of observation, listening, breathing and meditation guided by the mediator;
• Exercises to connect with nature, especially with trees (the famous tree huging );
• The presence of music in the heart of nature, to accompany certain exercises;
• Music listening breaks, in the forest and at the place of departure or arrival;
• On the way back, a tasting of exceptional teas.

At the end, simple and reproducible exercises are given to the participants: the Musical Forest Bath, by establishing an intimate and attentive contact with nature and with music, opened a path towards self-knowledge, harmony and The well-being. It is up to everyone to pursue it! Group and company formula The festival offers, from 12 people, the organization of a tailor-made "Musical Forest Bath". Contact us for more information !
