Summary

During these days, it is important to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the forest, to experience and allow the regenerating effect. Surrounded by greenery, it's time to find peace and quiet.

The forest is a resource, a place of health, retreat, silence, meditation, recreation, freshness, discovery, relaxation and much more. Experiencing the healing effects of the forest during this week offers many opportunities. To tackle changes that are imminent or desired, to seek reorientation in difficult life circumstances and/or to creatively develop tasks that lie ahead. Or simply to take a break from everyday life, retreat and experience the healing effects of the forest - Forest. Experience. Retreat.
