Guided Forest Therapy- Tasmanian Arboretum

Come along for a deep dive into your senses and the environment. The Arborteum has a collection of over 5,000 trees and resident platypus. A Forest Therapy walk helps you to slow down. Experience activities , such as deep breathing, stretching and sensory immersion to enhance the health benefits of nature.

We will explore the trees, connect deeply with our own bodies and conclude with a seasonal cup of tea.
