Experience guided Sylvotherapy sessions
in Zagori, Epirus and Greece


A Serene Return to What Truly Matters


Discover the healing power of Sylvotherapy through Feel Forest's guided “forest bathing” sessions amid the stunning scenery of Zagori, Epirus, and the majestic mountains of Greece.


Embark on a sensory, mindful journey through the wild, beautifully orchestrated and led by Certified Sylvotherapist Philippos Frangoulis.

This is more than just a walk — it’s a soulful homecoming. It’s a pause. A breath. A space to reconnect. In the ancient forests of Zagori and carefully chosen spots across Greece, we invite you to experience mindful forest sessions that awaken your senses and calm your mind.    

Led by Philippos Frangoulis, Greece’s first Certified Sylvotherapist and an ICF-accredited Executive Coach (ACC), each session is designed to help you slow down, feel more, and come home to yourself.

What is Sylvotherapy?


A forest-based reset for modern lives.

Sylvotherapy
(from the Latin word “silva” meaning forest) is more than just a walk — it’s a guided experience of slowing down, tuning in, and reconnecting with what truly matters—a science-backed, soul-rooted practice of being present in nature.

Inspired by Greek, Celtic, and Japanese traditions of Shinrin-Yoku (森林浴), which means “forest bathing,” it helps lower stress and restore mental clarity by:

Reducing stress hormones (cortisol) and easing anxiety 

 Improving heart rhythm and blood pressure regulation 

 Boosting immunity through natural tree compounds (phytoncides) 

 Enhancing focus, unlocking creativity, and balancing emotions 

 Reawakening awe, humility, and a quiet inner clarity


We guide this transformation using:

 Mindfulness & deep listening 

 Breath & body awareness 

 Nature-based coaching 

 Sensory invitations that calm, clarify,
and reconnect.

Led by a Certified Sylvotherapist, like Philippos, each session is a gentle immersion in the forest, where stress softens, clarity returns, and inner quiet awakens.

Feel Forest is Greece’s first organised Sylvotherapy practice, founded by Philippos Frangoulis, ACC Executive Coach and guide in the forests of Zagori.

How It Works


A Feel Forest session is a gentle, guided journey through four mindful phases:


Arrival & Intention

We gather in a peaceful natural spot.
After a brief welcome and setting a clear intention, the pace begins to shift.

Sensory Invitations

Through gentle movement, breathing, and prompts rooted in nature, your senses awaken.
The noise diminishes—your awareness deepens.


Stillness & Listening

In silence, the forest speaks.
You start to hear the wind, the birds, your breath, and what truly needs to be heard.
This is the moment you rediscover your genuine values and needs.

Closing Rituals

Together, we create a group forest “mandala” using natural elements — a shared moment of meaning.

We conclude with a Japanese tea ceremony, a mindful pause of gratitude and gentle integration.

You’ll leave with calm, clarity, and simple ways to carry the forest’s wisdom into your daily life.

What to Know Before You Join


Feel Forest sessions are not hikes or fitness activities. They are gentle, guided walks designed to bring you into the present moment, helping to regulate the nervous system and deepen awareness through breath, stillness, and subtle sensory connection. Participants assume full responsibility and acknowledge that any activity in nature carries inherent risks.

Who can join:

Adults 18+

No pets allowed

No special fitness required — just the ability to walk slowly on uneven paths and take responsibility for your well-being.

 Comfortable, layered clothing

 Closed-toe walking shoes (no sandals)

 Water, optional yoga mat, notebook

 Mobile phones must be off or on aeroplane mode — silence is part of the practice.

This is not therapy or treatment —
it is a space for reconnection and reflection in nature.

I’m Philippos Frangoulis

A Certified Executive Coach (ACC by ICF) and Greece’s first Certified Sylvotherapist.
With over 25 years of experience in Human Resources, leadership, and adult learning—supplemented by my parallel work in theatre and storytelling—I chose to embrace a different pace.

I left city life behind and returned to my ancestral village, Skamneli, nestled in the heart of Zagori's wild countryside.

There, amid ancient forests and stone paths, Feel Forest was born. Every session I facilitate invites you to slow down, breathe, and remember where you already belong.

The forest helps you see how.
