“ParkBathe is good for the soul”

🌳Sunday free ParkBathe at Cator park at 11am🌳

It’s a funny thing how we neglect our souls. Whatever you wish to call it, but it’s that part of our inner self that needs (deserves) nurture and attention💚

It’s so easy to put off going outside - a walk - even just popping out for a breath of fresh air.

It’s much easier to stay indoors and scroll just a little bit longer.

We all experience apathy and lack of motivation, particularly when there are so many dopamine-distractions.

So let ParkBathe Mindful Walks give you a very good reason to go out this Sunday for some well deserved self care, to spend time with likeminded folk walking gently in nature, noticing the Spring buds and generally feeling a heck of lot better for it 🙏💚🌳

TWO places have just become free for the popular ParkBathe at Cator park Beckenham at 11am. So that means you can bring a friend.

🌳A ParkBathe is a slow mindful walk shown to reduce stress and anxiety. No water involved 🌳

The ParkBathe crew are back this Saturday 11th April in South Norwood lake and grounds to admire some T**s 👀🐧🤣

Ahem, that should be Great T**s or Blue t**s, whatever you spot…

…Yes actual birds… if you want to be a super smug bird nerd next time you are out and about, & able to identify bird song…come along! 

Join our fundraiser with ParkBathe Mindful Walks And Croydon RSPB to support our year-round free Forest bathing sessions in local parks 🌳🍃💚

As of 1st April, we are now a Community Interest Company (CIC).

But, what does that even mean?

It means we’re rooted. Like the oak that’s been standing in your local park for 200 years, we’re not going anywhere.

It means everything we do, every moment of stillness, every lungful of city-filtered fresh air, every time you catch yourself actually noticing a leaf, has to be for you. Not for profit. That’s literally the green law for us now.

And it opens doors to funding that can bring this to more people. More parks, more cities, more humans remembering that nature is right there, just waiting to be noticed. 🌿

Good huh?

From small beginnings to something with roots, we want to say a special thanks to all of you for being part of our community. Whether you’re still working up the courage to go to your first ParkBathe or you’re a seasoned sensory pro, we are so appreciative of each and every one of you!

And if you’d like to support us and become an ambassador, please do get in touch! We run free forest bathing walks EVERY WEEK all year round! We’re especially keen to get more men on board so we can run some men-only walks soon.

We’re also going to have a whole summer of events (inc LGBTQIA walks) so if you’d like to get involved in those and support the LGBTQIA community, please let us know 🌳💚🦋

Hey folks, ‘Wren’ have you heard a bird and wondered “what is that?”🐧

Seriously, for such a small bird, the Eurasian Wren (often spotted in Croydon) has a remarkably loud voice.

He’s small and mighty and not afraid to make some noise and at ParkBathe we like his style.

So… we are making a lot of noise about our super special fundraising RSPB Forest bathing walk with Bird listening Bonanza!!

11th April at 1pm in South Norwood Lake and grounds 🍃💚

Croydon RSPB will provide a private guide for the session after we’ve smoothed away any stresses on a forest bathing walk.

You’ll get:

🐧 A guided forest bathing session (no! It’s not wild swimming, it’s mindful walking )
🐧 A community of like-minded souls who think birds are cool
🐧 A science-backed wellbeing boost
🐧 The smug satisfaction of knowing what a Song Thrush sounds like

WREN you’re ready (🤣) book your place and support our Small but Mighty community-led project that has helped over 2,000 people to finally slow down, chillax in nature and feel human again…

Seriously? Do you really have something better to do on Saturday April 11th?

Do some good for yourself and this Fab community 🌳💚

What a nourishing and fruitful ParkBathe walk and women’s health session we had today at South Norwood Lake and grounds.

Sharing, asking questions with a very approachable GP meant many women opened up in ways they hadn’t felt they could before 🍃💚❤️🙏

And the cakes? Sublime!

There are just a few places left next Sunday 22nd March at 2pm for another of these very special (free!) funded events so head to our bio for a spot.

Nature. Women. Cake

It says it all 🙏🌳🍃💚

Hello and welcome to ParkBathe!

We love that we have so many new followers 🍃🌳

Did you know our name comes from the fact we lead “Forest bathing” walks, based on the Japanese health practice of Shinrin Yoku, clinically shown to reduce stress “in local parks”….

See? “Park-Bathe” - Forest bathing in parks!

Our sessions are led members of the community, are completely non-spiritual, free (!), and accessible for everyone - and only one hour.

If you haven’t tried one yet, what are you waiting for ? They run most weeks throughout Croydon and Bromley green spaces. Over 100 walks a year! Book via https://linktr.ee/ParkBathe

And yes…we were inspired by all the park runners in Crystal Palace Park when we first started this project!! 🌳🍃💚
