Sacred Space Therapy and Wellness

Sacred Space Therapy and Wellness is a unique practice in Hong Kong that focuses on mental well-being through the integration of nature and the arts. Co-founded in 2025 by Jerome Bautista, a certified Forest Therapy Guide, and Vivian Chan, a music therapist, the center offers a range of therapeutic services designed to nurture the mind, body, and spirit. The approach combines Relational Forest Therapy, music therapy, mindfulness, yoga, and sound healing to create a holistic environment for healing and self-discovery. Jerome leads immersive forest therapy walks inspired by the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, inviting participants to slow down and reconnect with nature. These walks, typically spanning 1-2 kilometers, are not fitness hikes but rather opportunities to breathe deeply and engage with the natural world. The center also hosts The Rewilding Journey, a monthly series of guided forest bathing walks in Hong Kong's beautiful landscapes, complete with a tea ceremony, fostering a deeper connection to the environment. In addition to forest therapy, Vivian provides music therapy sessions that blend music and talk to improve mental health and promote positive changes. The center emphasizes accessibility, offering remote Zoom forest therapy sessions and tailored experiences for corporate and nonprofit groups. A portion of the proceeds from these walks supports reforestation efforts, making each visit not only a personal journey but also a contribution to the planet's health.
