Amnanda Forest Group Leader Training 2025 – Hay on Wye, Herefordshire

Amnanda Forest is a six-day workshop that combines the therapeutic effects of Ayurvedic oil treatments with those of spending time in the forest. The aim of Amnanda Forest is to strengthen our immune system, hormonal system and our general vitality. We learn about specific herbs found in the forest. We make teas and tinctures and cook with these herbs and every day we have a picnic in the woods.

If we go into a forest, we instinctively feel that the forest is healthy for us. But why is that? Scientists all over the world are studying this question. What is certain is that forests are rich in complex substances that have a positive effect on our health. In a forest we experience the feeling of homebase - trust, safety and shelter. Experiencing these feelings draws us to the forest again and again. This feeling together with the high level of oxygen and our response to the pheromones emitted by the trees has a positive psychological and physiological effect on us. In Amnanda Forest workshops this is further enhanced with an Ayurvedic oil treatment together with herbs, teas, tinctures and food.

Each day starts with theoretical learning in the morning followed by lunch preparation and demonstrations. We then move to different sites to spend time in the forest.  You will also give and receive a simple oil treatment using Amnanda Forest oil before we go into the woods each day and this enhances the positive effects of our interaction with the terpenes and other pheromones present in the forest environment. After successful completion of the workshops, you will be certified to hold Amnanda Forest workshops with groups of up to 9 people.
