In light of the latest COVID-19 development, the Technical Sessions on 4 March 2022 will be postponed as the safety of
participants and staff must always come first. Details on further arrangement will be announced in due course.
Technical Sessions 1: Forest Bathing
Forest-bathing, or "Shinrin-yoku", means taking in the forest through our senses. This is not exercise, or hiking,
or jogging. It is simply being in nature, connecting with it through our senses of sight, hearing, taste, smell and
touch. Shinrin-yoku is like a bridge. By opening our senses, it bridges the gap between us and the natural world.
Join this 45-minute forest-bathing to experience nature with our five senses with our professional guidance.
