For meditators who want to catch their breath on Sunday, here is a refreshing forest session in Borgo Vigant (Nimis), among streams, crystal-clear waters, mysterious abysses and lush forests. The appointment is scheduled for Sunday, 7 July at 15:00, departing from Villanova delle Grotte (Lusevera). During the day, we will do relaxing exercises to refocus on ourselves, starting with our senses, breath and heart. The activities are simple, but they will allow us to get in touch with the beautiful Nature that surrounds us and that we are lucky enough to have around us. These activities, although simple, are not trivial: it is by returning to nature with practices that we probably did as children that we begin a salvific process of reconnecting with ourselves, a process that we have completely lost along the way and that we can learn to recover thanks to experiences such as immersion in the forest.
