Banhos de Floresta: Forest Bathing in Lisbon

Banhos de Floresta, or forest bathing, is a guided practice originating from Japan that invites participants to connect with nature through all five senses. Led by a certified technician, the slow-paced walk through the diverse woodlands of Monsanto uses mindfulness techniques to quiet the mind and promote health, spirituality, and well-being.

The experience takes place in the vast, varied forest of Parque Florestal de Monsanto, an ideal setting for this immersive activity. Attendees meet at the Centro de Interpretação de Monsanto before embarking on a sensory journey designed to slow down the rhythm of the mind and foster a deep appreciation of the natural surroundings.
