Clothing and Equipment
Wrap up warmer than you would do for a ‘normal walk’. We will be
standing (or sitting) still a lot and our bodies can cool down quickly. You
may get cold, even in summer! Also bring a waterproof layer, as there
might be some rain. And of course, wear proper (waterproof) walking
shoes. The walk will be short and slow, but the ground underneath our
feet will be uneven and can be quite wet and muddy. Our guides have
waterproof sit mats available to use during the event. Please also bring
water and sun protection if required, and any food, walking equipment
or medications you might need.
Our guides reserve the right to refuse participation in the session if you
are not wearing appropriate clothing. This is for your own safety.
Weather
Our tours and events will go ahead in all weather circumstances, unless
there is a MET Eireann weather warning. If a tour of event is cancelled
due to bad weather, we give you notice as soon as possible and
reschedule the event. If none of the new dates are not convenient for
you, we will refund your fee.
Possible risks
During our tours and events we will take slow and short walks. Be
mindful where you place your feet. We are walking in nature and the
ground can be uneven, wet, and slippery. Be careful of tripping hazards,
like branches, fallen trees or roots. Also beware of what’s happening
above you. Low hanging branches or loose sticks can cause a safety
hazard. Unexpected emotions can come up during forest bathing
experiences. Know that this is totally normal. Our guides can help you if
necessary.
Medical conditions
If you have any medical conditions, are on a prescribed medication, or
have any concerns, please, see your GP and inform him/her about
attending one of our tours or events. If you currently experience or have
a history of serious health issues (including mental health issues,
operations, medical procedures, seizures, implants, special needs etc.),
please, inform us so that we can look after you properly. During most of
our tours and events there will be a natural tea gathering. If you have
any allergies, please let me know in advance. Unfortunately, for safety
reasons we cannot accommodate people with walking disabilities at this
moment.
Children
Most of our tours and events are suitable for children. It’s up to the
parents to judge if their kids will be up to it. Please keep in mind that
most of our events are quiet and meditative. No playing, running or
excessive noise will be permitted. Children need to be supervised by a
parent at all times. We also run events especially designed for children.
Pets
Unfortunately, pets are not allowed, unless stated otherwise in the event description.
Refund Policy
Tickets need to be booked and paid for in advance. Please, note that all
ticket sales are final. In order to care for our energy in organising and
running events with deliberately small numbers we don’t allow
cancelations. If you are unable to come to the event you’ve booked, you
can either change the date to one of our other tours or events up to 14
days before the date of the event, or transfer you ticket to somebody
else. No refunds will be issued in case of non-attendance. If we have to
cancel the event for any reason you will be offered an alternative date
or, if a suitable date cannot be arranged, a full refund.
