Forest Healing Workshop：Let's make a relathionship with human beings and trees!
上原 巌
台湾台東市 国立台湾史前文化博物館 2024年08月 - 2024年08月
Starting with random self-introductions and a simple ice-breaker, we then went out into the forest. We played a game in which participants had to guess trees by the feel of their leaves and bark, searched for different colors in the forest, such as gold, silver, red, blue, and orange, found "comfortable places," and talked about our own memories of the forest. This is a simple outline of the workshop.

オンライン・ウェビナー開催 2021年08月 - 2021年08月
"Forest Therapy in Japan and its possibility in the USA"
1. What is Forest Therapy and its healing effects?
Forests and the trees within them have many healing properties. They promote our health, prevent illness, provide relaxation opportunities, and a rehabilitation environment, can be a treatment place for disabilities, peaceful counseling space, and so forth. When we arrive in the forest, we sometimes pay more attention to oneself and one’s life. Walking and exercise in the forest change our attitudes and perspectives, too. Trees also have many fascinating aspects for medical, art, and care utilization. This special class considers these forest amenities.
2. Examples of Forest Therapy and programs
There are many examples of forest therapy and forest amenity programs.
First of all, Forest Walking. Walking is the simplest rehabilitation method and whole body exercise. Walking can prevent lifestyle related disease. In addition, individuals walking in the forest enjoy the landscape, fresh air, and natural environment.
Next, relaxation. It is quiet and peaceful in the forest. Relaxation in the forest inspires natural peace in our body and mind. It adjusts our nervous system balance, too.
Third, rehabilitation. For clients after an operation, accident, and preparing to reintegrate with society, forest walking & working is one possible rehabilitation program.
Fourth, treatment and occupational activities. Carrying logs & branches, cutting trees & weeds, and planting trees and examples of occupational therapy.
Fifth, counseling. Counseling in the forest makes clients relax and sensitive. Forest amenities like landscape aesthetics, wind, fragrance, birds singing sometimes give useful hints to solve our problems and provide an ideal setting for traditional counseling approaches.
3. Case studies of forest amenities
There have been already some invaluable cases utilizing forest amenities in Japan.
By experiencing forest activities for a long term and constantly, some clients with mental, psychological, and physical disabilities showed improvement. Their communication has been also changed positively. Some experimental studies suggest that forest walking can reduce stress hormone, enhance immune function, and balance nervous system. Recently, some case studies of the patients with Dementia could recover their communication ability, too.
Trees also have great possibilities for healing. For example, some trees provide medicine, herb tea, and fragrance which have certain healing effects.
4. Possibilities of forest and tree amenities in USA
What is the special character of people living in the United States and how does it differ from Japan and other parts of the world? There are many diversities in the US. States, Nature, People, there are many diversities in everywhere in US! people prefer to enjoy and exercise in the park and nature. There are beautiful green parks, mountains, and forests in the USA. Also, many kinds of trees, Therefore, US forest environment has a big potential for forest therapy program and “diversity” is the special and key point of US forest therapy and forest bathing.
