Shinrin-yoku is a term that means “forest bathing.”
It was developed in Japan during the 1980s and has
become a cornerstone of preventative health care
and healing in Japanese medicine.

This project aims to bring The Mersey Forest into the heart of the city and demonstrate the power of nature, our ‘Natural Health Service’, to provide an oasis of calm, an opportunity to catch our breath and our thoughts; ready for the day ahead.

Come to Williamson Square, Liverpool on 26-27th June and take a 10 minute break from your busy life schedule to experience for yourself the healing power of the infinite pop-up forest bathing pod.

Designed by BCA Landscape for The Mersey Forest as part of the wider Urban GreenUP Project, in conjunction with Liverpool City Council, The University of Liverpool and The Liverpool BID Company.

Built by the Royal Court set-building team and funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Urban GreenUP project.
