The first published edition of Your Guide to Becoming a Forest Therapy Guide is officially out of stock.
From its beginnings, 2021, what has been aa training manual for our immersive Shinrin-Yoku/Forest Bathing/Forest Therapy programmes in Japan in 2023, through eight evolving editions, to a book shared with readers around the world — what a meaningful journey it has been.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who purchased the book and shared their valuable feedback, reflections, and suggestions.
The book was never intended to be merely a collection of activities or a set of instructions for conducting forest bathing sessions.
It invites readers to explore the broader foundations of professional practice, including scientific understanding, mindfulness, nature connectedness, ethical responsibility, and the relationship between the guide, participants, and the natural environment.
Writing, like learning and our relationship with nature, is never truly finished. There is always more to explore, question, and understand.
✨ The revised second edition is expected by the end of November 2026
