Forest Ngahere Bush Bathing

You know when you sink down into a deep hot bath after a hard day and everything escapes

Aaaahhhh (deep deep exhaled breath letting it all go)
All worries, fears and anxieties

All the muscles relax and tensions leave the body and mind.
The world can do what it likes because you are in a state of peace and calm.

Stepping into a forest and immersing yourself in its' energy feels just like that.

Rich connection, awakening senses, calming, releasing, ancestral, spiritual, healing,

The trees breathe in what we breathe out and we breathe in what the trees breathe out. The breath of life that indigenous people talk of. We are connected through breath.

I am the metaphorical lock on the bathroom door. While you immerse yourself I will remain situationally aware when in publicly accessible spaces although there are plenty of pockets not frequently visited. I also have use of a space free from interruption.

No! it's not naked in a bath in the bush​.​

Grounding  Earthing

Or as I like to call it.  Having a Kōrero with Papatūānuku (talking to mother earth) through the soles of my feet.  

There are over 7,000 nerve endings in your feet.  Walking stimulates them.  For greater effect I recommend taking your shoes off and stimulating them all while feeling earth's pulse. 

In reflexology the different parts of your foot can be linked to every part of your body. 

Just as electrical wires in buildings need to be earthed so too do we.

The benefits include; feeling calm, more peaceful, less stressed, better emotionally and physically.  Reduced pain and inflammation.  More settled and focused to name just the tip of the iceberg.  The deeper benefits include our interconnection with the world as a whole.  

Shoes act as insulators especially now that most have rubber soles.  How many of us put shoes on to leave the house, get in the car or public transport, walk on concreted surfaces, into work place buildings and all the while surrounded by electrical appliances and technology.  Even our cellphones are almost never turned off.  

One thing I have noticed through my own personal experience is that because we have been wrapping out feet up for many years there is a self consciousness when exposing our feet publicly.  There is still a lot of repulsion and anxiety about naked feet.    

​I have noticed too that the barefoot friendly spaces are the natural ones..  It is the human made spaces that are often harder to walk on.

From a sensory point of view, imagine; a soft earth, smooth stones, rich grass, forest litter which is generally soft, the coolness of water, or the squelch of mud.

Wai Worry (7 week course, approx 12 hours)

Maximum group size: Youth 6, adults 10.



It's 5pm on a Saturday and I'm in crisis.  
What do I do? Where do I go? And who can I call?

What's your emotional safety plan.


The answers we seek are already within each and every one of us. Often we know what we can't do.  This programme is focused on what you 'can do'.  The weekly topics partner up with different stages of the wai/water cycle.   Why? Because we are made up of water and we are part of the environment and not separate from.   Influencing all of us is the moon cycle.  

Science now validates what our ancestors already knew and that is the many health benefits from being outdoors.  Suitable for all abilities.
