The Experience

We invite you to spend a few hours dedicated to reflection, play and rediscovering the joyful and creative potential of our body and of our inner Nature (our soul), while reflecting on our shared experience at the Gesundheit Institute in beautiful West Virginia.

We will be dedicated to the art of care, as a way to better understand ourselves, discover our body, explore Nature, and reflect on the different facets of care.

We’ll talk about nature, walking in the woods, living in community, sharing, and exploring the possibility of taking care of ourselves and of others through play, water activities, clown theater, meditation, and voluntary social work.

It’s an invitation to rediscover our inner and outer Laughing Body.
