The event brings together companies, researchers, artists, regional developers, pedagogs and students interested in sustainable development and nature. We believe that solutions to well-being, sustainable living and society can be found by observing and mimicking nature.
The event consists of small workshops, discussions and the opportunity to recover in the middle of nature. We want to offer participants the opportunity for dialogue about nature and with nature. We hope that the event is inspiring and relaxing.
Max. 40 participants / per day. Participants will be divided into several event venues.
