IN THE GARDEN

Sylvotherapy

Contemplate, listen, smell... it's spring! The plants are rising in search of light and the birds are singing. It's the perfect season to recharge your batteries and get closer to nature. This month, we introduce you to sylvotherapy, an ancestral practice of care in contact with trees, which you can experience in the gardens of the Château de Maubreuil, near Nantes.

Originating from Japan, the art of Forest Bathing or Shinrin Yoku, is a relaxation and meditation technique close to the trees. Developing in France for a few years, very popular in the United States, and practiced for several decades in the land of the rising sun, the forest bath has unsuspected virtues, both for our body and our mind. Sylvotherapy is not "just" a hike or a "simple" walk in nature, it is a time of powerful sensory disconnection/reconnection that you offer yourself.

In practice, immersed in a forest, at a reduced walking pace and in a meditative state, participants perform different exercises that awaken their five senses: admiring the environment, feeling the caress of the wind and the soothing scent of nature, listening to the song of the birds and getting in touch with the surrounding trees.
The benefits of this sensory journey are numerous: reduction of stress, reduction of fatigue, reduction of blood pressure, prevention of certain diseases, improvement of cognitive functions. According to studies, trees have an additional asset: they emit odorant molecules, called terpenes. This molecule, which gives the forest its characteristic odor, acts on our central nervous system and produces the hormones of happiness: dopamine and serotonin.

The Château de Maubreuil, a green setting close to Nantes, is the ideal place for a peaceful retreat close to nature. Once a month, let yourself be lulled by the warmth, softness and energy of the trees during the forest baths organized by Hanna, our sylvotherapist. During this 2-hour interlude, she will guide you step by step through various exercises and you will be able to abandon yourself to the feeling of fullness and well-being. Discover all our "Fitness and Wellness" offer (Yoga, Pilates, sophrology) to recharge your batteries and take time for yourself.
