nature immersion
Wilderness deep engagement
Nature immersion is the practice of spending extended time in natural environments as a deliberate activity, often for mental health or spiritual benefits.
Unlike a quick walk in the park, immersion suggests deeper engagement—hours or days surrounded by wilderness, forests, or other landscapes with minimal modern intrusion: She credits weekly nature immersion with reducing her anxiety.
The concept draws on research showing that time in nature lowers stress hormones and improves mood.
