Leave the bustle of the Carnival behind and step into something quieter. Tucked into the bushland on the south-east edge of Picnic Point Park, this immersive forest bathing experience guides you through a series of mindful, hands-on nature connection practices among the trees of one of Toowoomba’s most beautiful escarpment parks.
Drawing on the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku, forest bathing is increasingly recognised for its benefits to mental and physical wellbeing — and this gentle, accessible session is a perfect reset during a busy festival week. As you slow down and tune in, you’ll find yourself connecting with the local ecosystem and the native plants that make this region’s landscape so special.
Book your ticket online or pay cash on arrival. Proceeds go towards the Darling Downs Environment Council.
Come with an open mind, leave your to-do list at the door, and let the forest do the rest.
