Day 1

This journey into the woods begins in a lesser known, yet truly stunning natural attraction and one of Taiwan’s largest caves – Sanmin Bat Cave. Embark on a facilitated 3-hour forest retreat with mindfulness and yoga experiences under the thick canopy and surrounded by vibrant and lush green flora. Through a journey of intentional calmness, guests will reconnect with nature and enjoy a chance to slow down the pace of life. 

這次的行程始於一個鮮為人知但令人驚嘆的自然景點和台灣最大的洞穴之一 – 三民蝙蝠洞。在茂密的樹冠下，在充滿活力和郁鬱蔥蔥的綠色植物群中，進行3小時的正念練習和森林瑜伽體驗，在這段時間您將可以暫時放下生活中的各樣壓力及紛擾，全心全意地與森林相處、與自己對話。
