Kroz projekt Nature&Disabilities pokazujemo kako priroda može postati prostor učenja, uključivanja i rasta za osobe s posebnim potrebama. Kroz inovativne pristupe učenju u prirodi gradimo inkluzivnije društvo, gdje svatko ima priliku učiti, razvijati se i osjećati pripadnost. 💚 Projekt uvodi tri inovativna pristupa učenju u prirodi s ciljem osnaživanja odraslih osoba s invaliditetom i intelektualnim teškoćama: 👉gamifikaciju, 👉šumsku terapiju i 👉razvoj zelenih vještina. Trajanje: 14 mjeseci (01. 10. 2025. – 30. 11. 2026.)

Dok drveće smiruje pogled, voda smiruje živčani sustav. Zvuk tekuće vode prirodno usporava moždane valove, snižava razinu stresa i pomaže tijelu da prijeđe u stanje oporavka. Njezin ritam regulira naše disanje. Njezine pauze uče nas tišini. Voda nas vraća u tok. U šumskoj kupki voda je ona alat za fokus, prisutnost i emocionalno otpuštanje. Zato, zastani uz potok, zatvori oči. i dopusti da te ritam vode uskladi iznutra. #šumskakupka #glazbavode #snagaprirode #mindfulness #wellbeing

Shinrin-yoku, odnosno šumska kupka, jača mentalno zdravlje i povezuje nas s prirodom. 🍀 Lijek za stres je bliže no što mislimo. 🙏🏼 Iskoristi dane ispred sebe i poveži se sa šumom. 🌳 #forestbathing #shinrinyoku #šumskakupka #snagašume

Kratki isječci sa prve ovogodišnje kupke organizirane od strane @snagasume i @jasnavukas, uz vodstvo @danijela_medakovic 🍀 Zahvalu upućujemo svima koji su doputovali do @opcina_radoboj i svim srcem sudjelovali, opustili tijelo, otpustili misli. 🌼 Vrijedi među ovim riječima i ostaviti pjesmu koju nam je Danijela pročitala, a nad kojom smo se samo mogli zamisliti. ☁️ Oblak U predvečerje, iznenada, Ni od kog iz dubine gledan, Pojavio se ponad grada Oblak jedan. Vjetar visine ga je njiho, I on je stao da se žari, Al oči sviju ljudi bjehu Uprte u zemne stvari. I svak je išo svojim putem: za vlašću, zlatom il za hljebom, A on - krvareći ljepotu - Svojim nebom. I plovio je sve to više, Ko da se kani dići do boga; Vjetar visine ga je njiho, Vjetar visine raznio ga. Dobriša Cesarić #šumskakupka #shinrinyoku #šuma #forestbathing

Thank you once again for inviting me to the 1st Croatian Congress on Forest Therapy, which was an excellent event as an organization, on a scientific level, and as an opportunity to meet interesting people with different expertise. I hope I made a small contribution, but I am sure I learned a lot.

With all my best wishes,

The forest hosted and embraced us during the symposium.

We left a part of ourselves in it, and in return received friendship and connection with people who think, feel and breathe as one. they say that life is not measured by the number of breaths, but by the number of moments when you run out of breath - and this was one such moment. 

Circles have been created that will bridge the boundaries that people have invented, and some new light is being born. 

May the Forest be with you
