In contrast to other countries, Shinrin Yoku (forest bathing) and forest therapy are not regarded as important instruments of a modern prevention healthcare and health strategy in German-speaking countries.
In order to change this, the IM-WALD-SEIN® INSTITUTE FOR FOREST MEDICINE AND FOREST THERAPY is guided by a clear vision and mission, with clear goals and values.
