Forest Bathing at Dalways Bawn | Summer Solstice Gathering

Mark the longest day of the year by slowing down and connecting with nature’s rhythms in the beautiful setting of Dalways Bawn.

Forest Bathing at Dalways Bawn, Carrickfergus

This solstice session offers a chance to pause at the height of the year. To step out of the everyday and into a different rhythm. One shaped by light, trees, and a shared presence.

Forest bathing is a gently guided, therapeutic excursion in nature. It’s not a hike or a fitness walk, nor does it involve any swimming. Instead, it invites you to slow right down, tune into your senses, and reconnect with the natural world and yourself. It is a bath for your senses.

In robust research, forest therapy has been shown to ease anxiety, improve sleep, reduce stress, and strengthen resilience. It’s a simple yet powerful way to nourish often-overlooked parts of ourselves and foster a deeper sense of wellbeing.

Every activity is completely invitational. If you’d prefer to simply stand, sit, or observe at any point, you are absolutely free to do so without apology or explanation. This time is yours.
