Description

De vez en cuando todos necesitamos parar y desconectar del mundo, hacer introspección y conocernos mejor. La naturaleza es una vía extraordinaria para lograrlo, y si se combina con una técnica como el mindfulness, mucho más. Queremos que disfrutes de esta experiencia en los bosques gallegos, combinándolo también con otras experiencias como "shinrin yoku" (término japonés que significa "baño de bosque"), paseos descalzos entre los árboles, ejercicios de toma de consciencia, etc. Apagaremos los smartphones y demás aparatos electrónicos y nos fundiremos con los sonidos, tactos, olores e imágenes que nos ofrece la naturaleza. Amplificaremos el alcance de nuestros sentidos y de nuestra propia consciencia. Vamos a realizar esta experiencia una vez al mes. Consulta nuestras próximas salidas y no dudes en unirte a esta maravillosa actividad en la que realizarás una limpieza espiritual. Os esperamos.
