Roots & Reflection: A Forest Bathing & Trees Discovery Journey at Fort Canning Park

The Roots & Reflection journey weaves together the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku (forest bathing) with an exploration of Fort Canning Park's diverse tree community, creating a unique experience that nourishes both mind and botanical curiosity.

This mindful exploration begins with the therapeutic practice of forest bathing—slowing down to awaken your senses and immerse yourself in nature's healing atmosphere. As we move through the park's tranquil pathways, we'll pause to discover the fascinating world of Fort Canning's trees: from the majestic Rain Trees with their sprawling canopies to the fragrant Ylang Ylang, native species, and introduced varieties that create the park's rich tapestry of green.

This is more than a walk—it's a journey of dual discovery where mindful presence meets botanical exploration. You'll learn to listen to the whispers of the canopy whilst uncovering the diverse characteristics of different tree species, their adaptations to Singapore's tropical climate, their ecological roles, and the intricate relationships they form within the urban forest ecosystem.

Led by a certified Forest Therapy Guide, this experience offers the restorative benefits of nature immersion whilst enriching your understanding of the diverse trees that call Fort Canning home. Discover how mindfulness and botanical awareness can deepen your connection to Singapore's urban forest.

 Join us for a morning where tranquility meets discovery—let Fort Canning's diverse tree community guide you towards both serenity and wonder.
