Bathing in the forest is the total immersion into the more then human world. Being the Fauna to the Flora. Indigenous to the Earth and the Cosmos. This is the playful offspring of Shinrin Yoku, Vision Quest, Pilgrimage, and Sacred Play.
Zuvuyania is a free-state. Inside and out. The more I return to my natural state, the more free and the more connected I am. This is the web that is woven in Zuvuyania.
Zuvuyania only exists in the here and now. It is a timeless space. the name comes from Zuvuya, which is the web that connects all throughout existence.
The only laws it has are the laws of nature, such as the law of reciprocity. The more I give, the more I receive, which is why you are invited to bring a bottle of water on our walks. The trees might be thirsty. In Zuvuyania every relationship is consciously reciprocal.
Join, to be introduced to the inner workings of Zuvuyania, and her magical realms may emerge from the silence.
The forest bathing was like a silent walk with some extras. We started by entering a labyrinth and I was allowed to choose a mask first. The colorful homemade mask and the labyrinth immediately gave me the idea of: stepping into another world. My senses were extra activated and I felt touched by the endless beauty of the forest decor framed by the background orchestra of the many bird songs, it seemed like I was walking through a fairy tale book. The overwhelming silence fell like a soft warm blanket on a cold winter night around me and did not leave me for the rest of the day. The forest bath made me realize in the evening that I want to be more in silence during my days, even when I am in front of the class. This forest bath, or the combination of 'not talking' and being in nature, gives me; an experience of being completely close to myself, a satisfaction of my need for beauty and an answer to the question: What role does silence play in my life? This forest bath is recommended if you want to experience something completely different in a slowed down theme. Ahee!
