Blue Monday Bosbad op De Tempel

When the world feels heavy

Climate stress, worries about everything that is going on, or just overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle? There is a place where you can let it all sink in. A place where nature invites you to stop and feel what is truly important.

On Blue Monday, the day that is often seen as the most somber of the year, we take you to Buitenplaats De Tempel. Between ancient trees and tranquil water features you will find a moment of peace and renewed connection.

Why forest bathing on Blue Monday?

A forest bath is a gentle, healing experience. It helps you release tension, open your senses and re-attune to the natural world. It is more than just relaxing; it connects you to the deep wisdom of nature. Here you can literally and figuratively breathe, while letting your worries slide away.
