​

By booking or attending a Forest Bathing session with Heart and Earth (operated by With Heart Consulting), you agree to the following terms. Please read them carefully before participating.

​​

Nature of the Activity​

Forest Bathing is a guided, nature-based wellbeing practice involving slow walking, sitting, stillness, and sensory connection in natural surroundings. While gentle and accessible, it still involves time outdoors in varied environments and terrain.​​​

​

Voluntary Participation​

Your participation is entirely voluntary. You may choose to leave the session at any time.

​

​Health & Medical Disclaimer

​By attending, you confirm that:

• You are in suitable physical and mental health to participate in low-impact outdoor activity.

• You have informed the facilitator of any medical conditions, injuries, allergies, or access needs that may affect your participation.

• You understand that this session does not constitute medical treatment or therapy.

• If you are pregnant, have a chronic illness, or any concerns, you have consulted your GP before attending.

​

Outdoor Risk & Responsibility

​You acknowledge that outdoor activities carry inherent risks, including but not limited to:

• Uneven ground, trip hazards, or variable weather

• Interaction with plants, insects, or wildlife

• Possible slips or falls​

While every effort is made to provide a safe environment, you agree to take responsibility for your personal safety and wellbeing. You are advised to dress appropriately and follow all guidance given during the session.

​​

5. Waiver of Liability

​To the fullest extent permitted by law, you hereby release, waive, and discharge Heart and Earth and With Heart Consulting, including its staff and facilitators, from any and all liability arising from:

• Personal injury or illness

• Loss or damage to personal property

• Emotional distress or discomfort​

This waiver does not affect your statutory rights under UK consumer law.

​

6. Behaviour & Respect

Participants are expected to:

• Follow instructions from the facilitator at all times

• Respect other participants, the environment, and wildlife

• Avoid disruptive behaviour (e.g. loud talking, phone use, wandering off, etc.)

We reserve the right to remove participants from the session if behaviour endangers others or negatively affects the group experience.

 

7. Photography & Consent

Photos may occasionally be taken for promotional purposes.
If you prefer not to be included in photos, please inform the facilitator before the session begins.

​

8. Children and Animals

Forest Bathing is generally not suitable for young children unless otherwise stated.
Dogs (unless registered assistance animals) are not permitted, as they can distract from the slow, immersive nature of the session.

 

9. Agreement

By proceeding with a booking or participating in a session, you acknowledge that you:

• Have read and understood this policy

• Agree to these terms

• Accept full responsibility for your participation
