Last Updated:Oct 2, 2026
At the invitation of the Stress Psychology Institute Foundation in Poland, INFOM President and Clinical Professor Qing Li delivered a keynote lecture titled "From a Feeling to a Science – Effects of Forest Bathing (Shinrin-yoku) / Forest Therapy on Human Health" at the conference "Cared for in Stress – Nature as a Source of Mental Health," held in Poland from September 3 to 5, 2026. He spoke to attendees about the origins and concepts of forest bathing, as well as its benefits for health promotion and disease prevention.
On September 5, he also conducted a forest bathing workshop, guiding participants through the practice and introducing them to this activity that originated in Japan.
Following the workshop, a commemorative tree-planting ceremony was held, and a plaque marking the tree planted by Professor Qing Li was installed.
I am deeply moved by the passion the people of Poland showed for forest bathing.
