WHAT YOU'VE BEEN SOLD
They put a waiver on the forest.
They monetised your escape routes. The simple business of going into the trees and going quiet became a retreat with a booking fee, a wild-swim weekend with a kit list, a forest-bathing workshop with a facilitator and a liability waiver to sign at the treeline. Nature, bureaucratised, sold back to you by the session. The forest, it should be noted, never invoiced anyone, never ran a waitlist, and never once asked you to sign anything before going in.
Forest bathing, £120. Forest, in a bottle, rather less. Bring your own towel.
