The 2026 'Daily Life OFF, Forest ON' program along Seoul's Namsan foothill trail is a free guided nature-wellness activity open to the public, families and working adults. Participants meet at Jung-gu Maebongsan Children's Forest and explore forest walking, sensory meditation, optional barefoot walking, tea time and breathing techniques. The weekday service lists Tuesday/Thursday from 13:30–15:00, and the Saturday service lists 10:00–11:30 and 13:30–15:00. The city booking portal gives a weekday deadline of November 25 at 13:00 and a Saturday deadline of November 27 at 13:01, 2026. Capacity is 12 per session. Internet or telephone bookings are offered; call 02-6368-9700. The operator says sessions with eight or fewer applicants can be automatically canceled, but also states that eight or more participants are needed, leaving an ambiguity at exactly eight. Check this threshold and weather updates before traveling. The listed meeting-area address is 193 Dongho-ro 5-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul.
