In this episode, Dr. Will Cole sits down at Ireland’s historic Dromoland Castle with yoga teacher and forest bathing guide Caroline Rouine to explore the science and soul of slowing down. Caroline shares her personal story of leaving New York during the pandemic and rediscovering peace through nature. From the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku to the biochemical benefits of trees and soil, they uncover how reconnecting with nature transforms mental and physical health. They also discuss how to bring nature indoors - from essential oils to air-purifying plants - and how to teach kids mindfulness through outdoor play.
